Background: It has been found that many factors affect the physiological performance of athletes, in this regard, researchers are trying to discover and identify the factors that affect the performance of athletes, and it is completely accepted that sleep is one of the necessities of health. This study aims to investigate the effect of 30 hours of sleep deprivation on the response of orexin-A levels and pulmonary function to an anaerobic activity in active male students.
Methods: This research was conducted semi-experimental and in the form of a pre-test and a post-test. The protocol was that in the control position, after 12 hours of fasting and 8 hours of sufficient sleep, in the experimental position after 12 hours of fasting and 30 hours, complete insomnia of the subjects was investigated in the student dormitory with controlled conditions.
Results: The information related to the comparison of post-test and pre-test in two experimental situations (sleep deprivation) and control (sufficient sleep) showed that orexin-A hormone increased significantly in sleep deprivation conditions compared to resting conditions and this difference is considered significant at the (p=0.001) level. Insomnia also caused significant changes in physiological indicators.
Conclusion: Thirty hours of sleep deprivation caused an increase in orexin-A levels, which shows the importance of night sleep, which is one of the influential factors related to obesity and overweight. |
