Travel fatigue and jet lag can negatively impact athletes' performance if not managed effectively.

Practical tips to manage travel fatigue and jet lag in athletes

A comprehensive travel management program for athletes can help limit fatigue symptoms and maintain optimal performance during transcontinental travel.

Jet Lag and Travel Fatigue: A Comprehensive Management Plan for Sport Medicine Physicians and High-Performance Support Teams

Jet lag can negatively impact athletes' performance and comfort, but sport psychologists can help them adapt by considering factors like distance traveled and direction of flight, and recommending strategies for improving reentrainment.

Strategies for Managing Athletes’ Jet Lag

Jet-lag can negatively impact athletes' performance, but behavioral strategies and education programs can help minimize its impact.

Coping with jet-lag: A Position Statement for the European College of Sport Science

Jet lag can be effectively managed with light pharmacological aid, such as hypnotics, to restore an adapted wake-sleep rhythm as quickly as possible, with psychostimulants being considered in exceptional cases.

Clinical management of jet lag: what can be proposed when performance is critical?

Jet lag is caused by improper timing of the body clock in the new time zone, and adjusting the body clock can help alleviate its negative effects on sleep loss and performance.

Jet lag: trends and coping strategies

Jet lag can be minimized by adjusting sleep schedules, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, and adjusting to a new time zone through non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies.

Jet lag: current and potential therapies.

Jet lag symptoms can be managed with chronobiotic drugs and drugs affecting alertness and sleep propensity, but no treatment can instantly shift circadian phase to a new time zone.

Approaches to the Pharmacological Management of Jet Lag

Timed light exposure and melatonin ingestion can help athletes adjust to a new time zone after transmeridian flight, reducing jet lag symptoms and improving performance.

Interventions to Minimize Jet Lag After Westward and Eastward Flight

Melatonin may help people adapt to new time zones by resynchronizing circadian rhythms and reducing sleep-wake cycle disruptions.

Alleviation of jet lag by melatonin: preliminary results of controlled double blind trial.

Jet lag can be significantly reduced by adjusting to the new time zone, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.

Overcoming jet lag.

Melatonin, bright light, and sleep schedules can help reduce or eliminate jet lag when combined with available flight times.

How To Travel the World Without Jet lag.

Travelling athletes can cope with jet-lag by adjusting to the new time zone, timing light exposure, avoiding long naps, and strategically using exercise.

HOW CAN TRAVELLING ATHLETES DEAL WITH JET-LAG?

Jet lag negatively affects athletes' mood, cognition, and performance, with behavioral strategies recommended over pharmacological aides.
