Nutrition Strategies to Promote Sleep in Elite Athletes: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Sleep is pivotal for recovery, immunity, and energy restoration; however, sleep problems exist in elite athletes. Nutrition and supplementation strategies can play both a positive and negative role in sleep quality and quantity. Elite athletes experience unique psychological and physiological demands above non-elite athletes and may require different nutrition strategies to promote sleep. Nutrient interventions and their effect on sleep in elite athletes is an emerging area, with further research warranted.

Methods

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Scoping Reviews and Joanna Brigg's Institute Reviewer's Manual for Scoping Reviews were utilised to assess the available evidence on nutrition strategie
