Intermittent-Sprint Performance and Muscle Glycogen after 30 h of Sleep Deprivation
TL;DR: Sleep loss and associated reductions in muscle glycogen and perceptual stress reduced sprint performance and slowed pacing strategies during intermittent-sprint exercise for male team-sport athletes.
The effect of overnight sleep deprivation after competitive rugby league matches on postmatch physiological and perceptual recovery
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of overnight sleep deprivation on recovery following competitive rugby league matches were examined and it was found that sleep deprivation negatively affected recovery following a rugby league match, specifically impairing counter-movement jump (CMJ) distance and cognitive function.

The effect of overnight sleep deprivation after competitive rugby league matches on postmatch physiological and perceptual recovery.
TL;DR: Sleep deprivation negatively affected recovery after a rugby league match, specifically impairing CMJ distance and cognitive function, and practitioners should promote adequate postmatch sleep patterns or adjust training demands the next day to accommodate the altered physical and cognitive state after sleep deprivation.
Post-match changes in neuromuscular function and the relationship to match demands in amateur rugby league matches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the change in neuromuscular contractile properties following competitive rugby league matches and the relationship with physical match demands, highlighting the physical demands of competitive amateur rugby league result in interruption of peripheral contractile function, and postmatch voluntary torque suppression may be associated with match playing time and mean speeds.

Post-match changes in neuromuscular function and the relationship to match demands in amateur rugby league matches.
TL;DR: The present study highlights the physical demands of competitive amateur rugby league result in interruption of peripheral contractile function, and post-match voluntary torque suppression may be associated with match playing time and mean speeds.
