Nutrition, sleep and recovery
Abstract
Ensuring athletes achieve an appropriate quality and/or quantity of sleep may have significant implications for performance and recovery and reduce the risk of developing overreaching or overtraining. Indeed, sleep is often anecdotally suggested to be the single best recovery strategy available to elite athletes. A number of nutritional factors have been suggested to improve sleep, including valerian, melatonin, tryptophan, a high glycaemic index diet before bedtime, and maintenance of a balanced and healthy diet. Conversely, consumption of alcohol and caffeine and hyper‐hydration may disturb sleep. Strategies such as warming the skin, hydrotherapy, and adoption of appropriate sleep hygiene (maintenance of good sleep habits and routines) are other tools to aid in sleep promotion. Ensuring athletes gain an appropriate quality and quantity of sleep may be important for optimal athletic performance.

In the citing paper
“Despite this, the interaction between sleep and nutrition cannot be understated with specific nutritional interventions, including a high-carbohydrate, high-glycaemic-index evening meal, melatonin supplementation, tart cherry juice, kiwifruit, and foods rich in tryptophan, all supporting proper sleep [38,164,183]”

In the citing paper
“Both sleep and nutrition are viewed as modifiable facilitators for recovery in athletes [22,38,45,65,162,163,164,168,183], thus emphasising their relevance to injury mitigation interventions.”

In the citing paper
“Notwithstanding the importance of appropriate nutrition during adolescence [95,103,122,187,189] and nutrition’s influential interaction with sleep and recovery [38,164,183], limited research is available investigating the relationship between sleep, nutrition, and injury risk in adolescent athletes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
