Dorelan: the right rest for athletes

4/08/2022

Research is essential when it comes to the well-being of the person, this is because it contributes to his improvement.

This is also what lies at the basis of Dorelan's activity: the continuous consultation of the data provided by the main sources that conduct studies and investigations in the field of sleep are processed to create new technologies applied to products for proper support of the body during the rest hours. But not only that, for every need, ad hoc mattresses are created, such as ReActive, with technical characteristics that best adapt to the habits of sportsmen.

So let's see, in this case, what are the advice that Dorelan provides on the subject based on the analyzes carried out on subjects with a life mainly inclined to sports:

The recommended daily duration is around 8-10 hours for athletes and 7-9 hours for the general population. Despite this, the sleep disorders that unfortunately are part of many sportsmen and, usually, the duration that is recorded is from 5 to 8 hours.

We must not neglect this data as a good recovery is essential, it contributes to the repair of muscles, to a better cognitive function with consequent maintenance of a correct hormonal balance (necessary for the regulation and reorganization of body tissues such as muscle, hormones are strictly associated with sleep and circadian rhythmicity).

This is where 'supercomensation' comes into play, a physiological process that occurs following the alteration of homeostasis in the body, due to the stimuli of training. This process must take place under the best conditions to ensure total and appropriate recovery.

Studies show that the performance of professional athletes who sleep an average of 6-7 hours is actually reduced. The cause may be attributable, in some cases to external factors such as the environment where you sleep (noise, bedroom temperature, exposure to light), but also to training and study needs. Another factor is certainly the mattress, the quality of which is a key element. A mattress with the right technical characteristics guarantees the reduction of joint and muscle pain, correct posture by aligning the spine and consequently improves the quality of sleep in a not indifferent way.
