Implications of sleep loss or sleep deprivation on muscle strength: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this review was to evaluate the current evidence regarding the impact of sleep deprivation (SD) on strength performance.

Methods

An English-language literature search revealed 514 articles through primary database searches, and 563 via organization searches/citation searching. The inclusion criteria were met by thirteen articles which were included in the review. The inclusion criteria set were healthy male and/or female adult participants, a sleep loss condition (e.g. SD or partial sleep deprivation), strength measures (e.g. back strength or leg strength or grip strength), and a peer-reviewed academic paper counterbalanced and/or or randomised in design.

Results

The systematic review identified a total of 13 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
