Sleep Deprivation and Exercise Tolerance.
Abstract
Sleep loss appears to influence subsequent exercise in a manner dependent upon the nature of that exercise. To investigate this, the author examined the effect of 24 sleepless hours on the ability to produce and maintain maximal ventilation, a form of exercise involving a limited muscle mass. It was found that sleep loss reduced maximal ventilatory output and also resulted in persistent mood changes. In addition, sleep loss worsened performance of both short- and long-term maximal ventilation, indicating that its influence was not limited to prolonged, boring tasks. It was concluded that those forms of exercise utilizing the largest muscle mass are most resistant to the influence of sleep deprivation. Keywords: Stress; Exertion; Diaphrams(Anatomy). (Author)
