Sažetak
Sleep quality (SQ) is a significant factor in athletes’ performance. Good sleep helps restore energy, increase concentration, physical endurance and release growth hormones, which help build muscle and strengthen the immune system. When athletes get enough sleep, it enhances muscle recovery, improves mood and reduces psychological stress. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the impact of sleep quality on the health of Omani athletes in the Sultanate of Oman. A convenience sample of 95 male athletes responded to an online SQ Scale. The SQ Scale consisted of 65 items distributed into 5 subdimensions: Habitual sleep efficiency, daily training, competition period, external factors, and health factors. The results indicated that SQ of Omani athletes was average on all sub-dimensions of SQ Scale. The results also showed that there were statistical differences in the dimensions of the competition period and health factors in favor of athletes aged 26 and above. The study recommended conducting interviews with Omani athletes to identify the factors affecting their SQ and promoting awareness about the term of SQ by meetings and training programs.
