However, it remains important to study this complex relationship further. The available evidence is inconsistent however, it appears to suggest that poor sleep affects soccer players’ performance and increases the risk of injury. Physiological responses (and their intensity) during drill-based games were not influenced by changes in sleep. On the other hand, inconsistent results were found between sleep and athletic and match performance, and training load in soccer players. Although there was inconsistency in the findings, some studies suggested that sleep restrictions in soccer negatively affected athletic and match performance while also increasing the number and severity of musculoskeletal injuries. ![]() Results revealed that soccer players are no exception for sleep inadequacy. ![]() A total of 297 titles were identified, of which 32 met the eligibility criteria. A systematic review of EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), PubMed, Cochrane Library, FECYT (Web of Sciences, CCC, DIIDW, KJD, MEDLINE, RSCI, and SCIELO) databases was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize available evidence regarding the relationships between sleep and (i) athletic and match performance, (ii) training load, and (iii) injuries in soccer players. ![]()
