Objective: To investigate the effect of 1) lockdown duration and 2) training intensity on sleep quality insomnia symptoms in elite athletes. Methods: 1,454 athletes (24.1 ± 6.7 years; 42% female; 41% individual sports) from 40 countries answered a retrospective, cross-sectional, web-based questionnaire relating to their behavioral habits pre- during- COVID-19 lockdown, including: Pittsburgh index (PSQI); Insomnia severity (ISI); bespoke questions about 3) napping; 4) behaviors. The association between dependent (PSQI ISI) independent variables (sleep, napping behaviors) was determined with multiple regression is reported as semi-partial correlation coefficient squared (in percentage). Results: 15% sample spent < 1 month, 27% 1-2 months 58% > 2 lockdown. 29% self-reported maintaining same during-lockdown whilst 71% reduced intensity. PSQI (4.1 2.4 5.8 3.1; mean difference (MD): 1.7; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.6-1.9) ISI (5.1 4.7 7.7 6.4; MD: 2.6; CI: 2.3-2.9) scores were higher during-compared pre-lockdown, associated (all p 0.001) longer onset latency (PSQI: 28%; ISI: 23%), later bedtime 13%; 14%) preferred time day train 9%; 5%) during-lockdown. Those who showed (p 0.001; 1.25; 0.87-1.63) 2.5; 1.72-3.27) compared those maintained Although score not affected by duration, confined month 1.28; 0.26-2.3). Conclusion: Reducing during COVID-19-induced lower Lockdown had further disrupting effects athletes' behavior. These findings could be relevance future or lockdown-like situations (e.g., prolonged illness, injury, quarantine after international travel).

Does the Response to a Stressful Condition in Older Adults with Life Rhythm Dysregulations Provide Evidence of the Existence of the “Dysregulation of Mood, Energy, and Social Rhythms Syndrome”?

Objective: The COVID-19 lockdown periods have given rise to the “Dysregulation of Mood, Energy, and Social Rhythms Syndrome” (DYMERS). This syndrome is characterized by a poor regulation biological, social, behavioral rhythms, including sleep, nutrition, social contacts. purpose this cohort study was examine whether older adults with pre-existing DYMERS had more negative perception their health-related quality life (H-QoL) during pandemic lockdown, regardless presence concurrent mood disorders. Method: entire population (N = 93; age > 65 year) categorized based on they exhibited dysregulated rhythms at outset study. A comparison made between DYMERS-positive individuals DYMERS-negative individuals, we assessed H-QoL conclusion We also compared in who did not positive depression score understand impact rhythm dysregulation alone. Results: frequency critical (SF12 < 25) higher (33.33% vs. 6.17%). difference remained significant even when only without depressive symptomatology were considered (27.27% 2.60%). Conclusion: results indicate that can exert substantial influence (H-QoL), disturbances are present. Additional research required investigate relationship other psychiatric conditions as well its nature standalone disorder.

We aimed at investigating combined effects of Ramadan observance related lockdown Muslim athletes. Methods From an international sample ( n = 3,911), 1,681 (from 44 countries; 25.1 ± 8.7 years, 38% females, 41% elite, 51% team sport athletes) answered a retrospective, cross-sectional questionnaire relating to their behavioral habits pre- during- lockdown, including: i ) Pittsburgh quality index (PSQI); ii insomnia severity (ISI); iii bespoke questions about training, napping, eating behaviors, iv during-lockdown compared outside Ramadan. The survey was disseminated predominately through social media, opening 8 July closing 30 September 2020. Results reduced increased (both p &lt; 0.001).

Given the high prevalence of sleep disorders (e.g. insomnia) among long-COVID-19 patients (LC19Ps), approaches to tackle these should not only depend on specialists, but they also involve general practitioners (GPs). Indeed, according World Health Organization, GPs be front line in management LC19Ps. However, real practice, little data with regard LC19Ps are available for GPs, which represents an embarrassing situation. Thus, main aim this correspondence was provide some advice related The pieces presented to: i) Early and accurate recognition disorders, ii) General recommendations manage encouraging vaccination against virus); iii) Specific recommendations, such as improving hygiene (patients' behavior diet), psychological or behavioral therapies (stimulus control therapy, relaxation, restriction), promising tools (heart coherence, neurofeedback), pharmacological treatment. authors deeply believe that given undesirable side effects associated use hypnotics, approach must a "last resort". important percentage prescriptions could avoided if more focus is put educating deal disorders. indispensable resume normal life promote their mental health recovery.

Application of ARIMA model in classification and prediction of athlete training data

Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 11, 2025

Traditional athlete training data classification and prediction models have low accuracy, poor processing of high-dimensional data, weak dynamic adaptability. Before applying the ARIMA model for prediction, first step is to use an automated acquisition system connect sports devices, collect clean in real time, securely store backup it on a central server. The second preprocess collected divide into test sets ensure accuracy generalization ability model. third conduct time-series analysis identify time-dependent seasonal components data. fourth involves fitting through differential analysis, stationarity testing, parameter optimization, residual rolling forecasting, ensemble learning, predicting classifying so as improve robustness experimental results show that using highest, all exceeding 92%, average 2%–16.7% higher than other models. Moreover, errors are below 1.0%. In summary, application highly reliable.
