Abstract
Introduction and purpose: Some studies have studied the effect of insomnia on the performance of athletes. However, no research was found to investigate the effect of caffeine supplementation after 24-hour sleep deprivation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of caffeine consumption following 24 hours of sleep deprivation on the muscular and physiological performance of handball players.
Material and Methods: In this double-blind and semi-experimental study, 40 male handball players (average age: 17.66±3.36 years, height: 179.47±7.29 cm, weight: 82.27±14.04 kg), were randomly divided into four groups (10 people in each group): caffeine supplement + sleep deprivation, placebo + sleep deprivation, insomnia group and complete sleep group. The supplement group took caffeine capsules (5 mg per kilogram of body weight) and the placebo group (starch powder) one hour before the test. One-way ANOVA statistical test was used to compare the significance level (P≤0.05) between groups.
Results: 24 hours of sleep deprivation had no significant effect on abdominal muscle endurance and flexibility (P≤0.05). However, sleep deprivation caused a significant decrease in the strength, power and muscular endurance of the subjects' shoulder girdle (P≥0.05). Also, consuming caffeine after 24 hours of sleep deprivation improved muscle strength and power in the supplement group compared to the placebo group (P≥0.05). However, there was no difference between the muscle endurance of the caffeine group and the placebo group (P≤0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results, it can be stated that the physical and physiological performance is disturbed due to the combination of mental pressure caused by insomnia and stress caused by sports activity. Therefore, it is suggested to use caffeine supplement to compensate for insomnia and improve performance.
