Impact of Concussion History on Sleep & Physical Performance in Contact

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the correlation between a history of concussions and its effects on both sleep patterns and physical performance among athletes engaged in contact sports. By examining the relationship between concussion history, sleep quality, and athletic performance, this research aims to provide insights into the potential long-term implications of concussions on the well-being and performance of athletes in contact sports

Clinical Trial Description

This study delves into the intricate relationship between the history of concussions, sleep quality, and physical performance among athletes participating in contact sports. Concussions, often occurring due to the high-impact nature of these sports, have raised concerns regarding their potential long-term effects on athletes' health and performance. This research aims to elucidate whether a history of concussions influences athletes' sleep patterns and subsequently affects their physical performance. The study employs a comprehensive approach, utilizing both subjective and objective measures to assess sleep quality, such as self-reported sleep disturbances and objective sleep monitoring techniques. Furthermore, various metrics are employed to evaluate physical performance, including agility, strength, speed, and endurance tests tailored to the specific demands of contact sports. By analyzing the data collected from athletes with and without a history of concussions, the study aims to identify potential correlations between concussion history, sleep disturbances, and diminished physical performance. Additionally, the research seeks to uncover any potential mediating factors, such as psychological distress or neurocognitive deficits, which may contribute to these associations. The findings of this study hold significant implications for athlete well-being and sports medicine practices. Understanding the impact of concussions on sleep quality and physical performance can inform tailored interventions and rehabilitation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of concussions on athletes' health and optimize their performance outcomes in contact sports. Moreover, these insights may contribute to the development of preventive measures and policies aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of concussions in sports settings. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
