Abstract

Retirement from sport can elicit significant psychological distress, particularly when unexpected; however, it is unknown whether former athletes experience poorer mental health and worse sleep than currently competing athletes.1 Therefore, the aim of this PhD project was to understand the risk prevalence of sleep and mental health disorders in diverse samples of current and former athletes.

期刊介绍: The British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) is a dynamic platform that presents groundbreaking research, thought-provoking reviews, and meaningful discussions on sport and exercise medicine. Our focus encompasses various clinically-relevant aspects such as physiotherapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. With an aim to foster innovation, education, and knowledge translation, we strive to bridge the gap between research and practical implementation in the field. Our multi-media approach, including web, print, video, and audio resources, along with our active presence on social media, connects a global community of healthcare professionals dedicated to treating active individuals.
