Sleep is essential in the preparation for, and the recovery from, training and competition. Despite being important for all individuals, young athletes are considered an at-risk group for reduced sleep duration and quality. The purpose of this review is to synthesise current literature relating to sleep duration and quality in young (14-25 years) athletes. Specifically, typical sleep and wake patterns, factors affecting sleep and wake patterns, and the consequences of altered sleep and wake patterns in young athletes are discussed. Scheduling training and competition in the afternoon or evening appears to result in reduced sleep duration due to less time in bed. Evidence suggests that young athletes who obtain less than 8 h of sleep per night are at a higher risk of musculoskeletal injury. An increase in sleep duration above habitual nightly sleep may be associated with favourable performance in young athletes; however, the associations between sleep quality and performance- and health-related outcomes remain unclear.

年轻运动员睡眠不足？原因，后果和潜在的治疗方法。

睡眠对于训练和比赛的准备以及从中的恢复至关重要。尽管对所有个人都很重要，但年轻运动员被认为是降低睡眠时间和质量的高危人群。这篇综述的目的是综合有关年轻（14-25岁）运动员睡眠时间和质量的最新文献。具体地说，讨论了典型的睡眠和唤醒方式，影响睡眠和唤醒方式的因素以及年轻运动员睡眠和唤醒方式改变的后果。由于减少了卧床时间，因此在下午或晚上安排培训和比赛时间似乎可以减少睡眠时间。有证据表明，每晚睡眠少于8小时的年轻运动员遭受肌肉骨骼损伤的风险较高。睡眠时间增加超过习惯性夜间睡眠可能与年轻运动员的良好表现有关。然而，睡眠质量与与性能和健康相关的结果之间的关联仍然不清楚。
