New research suggest that simply getting more sleep can improve athletic performance, so people don’t need workouts or weight training to improve their fitness.
For two weeks, five members of the Stanford women’s tennis maintained their regular schedules, sleeping and working out as usual. Then the player extended their sleep to 10 hours a night for five to six weeks. After increasing sleep, the athletes performed better on all the drills.
The research was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. Although the research was small and improvement may have been the result of additional practice time. Nevertheless, the size of the change suggests the athletes received a direct benefit from more sleep.
Who took part in the study also felt better and realized for the first time the real effect sleep could have on performance.
