|---|---|---|---|---|
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | Although empirical studies show variable effects on competition outcomes, likely due to individual and situational differences, the consensus is that significant travel without proper adjustment is a risk factor for performance decrement []. | 3 | Hatamiya Nicolas (2026) | Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | In addition to timezone shifts, the general fatigue of long-haul travel may itself hinder recovery by disturbing sleep patterns even without circadian misalignment, though direct evidence for this independent effect remains limited. | 3 | Hatamiya Nicolas (2026) | Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | Indeed, a landmark study of elite athletes found that traveling to international destinations with > 5 h time differences was associated with a two- to threefold higher risk of illness, such as upper respiratory infections, in the week following travel []. | 3 | Hatamiya Nicolas (2026) | Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | As athlete travel becomes more prevalent, particularly long-haul travel crossing multiple timezones, the impacts of travel on athlete performance should be considered as they pertain to jet lag, travel-related fatigue, fueling, gastrointestinal disturbances, environmental conditions, illness, and soft-tissue injury. | 3 | Hatamiya Nicolas (2026) | Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | This includes the activation of adenylate cyclase, increased cAMP levels, and subsequent activation of protein kinase A (PKA). | 3 | Wani Pinaki D. (2026) | Melatonin and sleep: Exploring its role in regulating the circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | Chronic or inappropriate light exposure, such as during night shifts or jet lag, can disrupt this regulation, leading to altered melatonin rhythms and associated sleep disturbances.[] 14 The role of light in regulating melatonin has clinical implications, as appropriately timed light exposure or avoidance can help manage circadian rhythm disorders. | 3 | Wani Pinaki D.

| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | Elevated nocturnal melatonin levels reduce core body temperature, a physiological change associated with sleep initiation. | 3 | Wani Pinaki D. (2026) | Melatonin and sleep: Exploring its role in regulating the circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle |
| Melatonin Sleep Jet Lag Meta-Analysis | 1 Sleep is a fundamental physiological process essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. | 3 | Wani Pinaki D. (2026) | Melatonin and sleep: Exploring its role in regulating the circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle |
