Abstract

The emergence of the Covid-19 has led to the implementation of widespread lockdown, significantly impacting athletes’ sleep routine. Therefore, determining the association between Covid-19 lockdown and sleep health among athletic population was primary objective of this systematic review. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, a collection of 5,128 article titles and corresponding abstracts were obtained. Finally, after the completion of additional screening and quality assessment procedure, only 13 studies met the necessary quality criteria and were deemed eligible for the final analysis. Among the included studies, a majority of the studies (69%) revealed a negative impact of Covid-19 lockdown on sleep health among athletes, whereas 23% reported a positive impact. Additionally, a minority of the studies (7%) indicated no significant impact. Hence, the collective findings from the reviewed studies indicate a likelihood of Covid-19 lockdown having a detrimental effect on the sleep health of athletes.
