Resumo(s)
This study aimed to translate and validate the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) into Portuguese and assess thesleep health of athletes using the ASSQ. Translation followed established scientific guidelines. A sample of 246 Portugueseathletes from various sports completed the ASSQ, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Reduced Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (r-MEQ). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported two factors for the Sleep DifficultyScore (SDS) and chronotype subscales. Model fit indices indicated excellent fit for SDS and chronotype. Internal consistencywas acceptable for SDS (α = 0.58) and chronotype (α = 0.54). Mean SDS was 5.7, and 22% of the sample were found to have sleepproblems. Specifically, 16% were classified with moderate sleep problems and 6% with severe sleep problems. No significant dif-ferences in SDS categories were found across sex, sports type, sports environment, competitive level or age group. Travel-relatedsleep disturbances were reported by 20% of athletes, and 11% experienced performance issues after travelling. Chronotype dif-fered by sports type, sports environment, competitive level and age group, but not by SDS categories. Additionally, morningchronotypes reported more travel-related sleep disturbances (p = 0.045). The Portuguese ASSQ showed strong validity and ac-ceptable reliability. Cohort analysis revealed that a substantial proportion of Portuguese athletes reported having sleep problemsand some would benefit from specific interventions intended to improve sleep.
