Review

This systematic review is the first to explore a) how studies evaluated napping behavior in athletes (frequency, duration, timing and measurement) and b) how napping impacted physical performance, cognitive performance, perceptual measures (e.g., fatigue, muscle soreness, sleepiness and fatigue), psychological state and night-time sleep in athletes. This information is important for athletes and practitioners who provide advice and education to athletes regarding napping.
