background
To athletes who often travel overseas, methods of controlling biological rhythms are vital in improving their performance under disadvantageous conditions such as jet lag. Physical activities and sleep also have a mutual effect on one another, such as a good night’s sleep after exercise, promotion of motor learning through sleep, etc. Elucidating this relationship will lead to knowledge that will allow us to maintain physical and mental health.
