Article Synopsis
- Spatial cognitive ability is crucial for table tennis players' performance, notably influenced by sleep quality.
- A study with 20 elite athletes found that 36 hours of sleep deprivation (SD) significantly slowed reaction times and reduced attentional resource allocation, as indicated by changes in brain activity (P3 amplitude).
- Functional connectivity analysis showed decreased interaction between the frontal and occipital brain regions after SD, which suggests impaired brain efficiency in processing spatial information.
