Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff
A narrative review in Sports Medicine (2026; 56:1381–1403) offering a practical, evidence-informed framework for minimizing the performance cost of long-haul travel and circadian misalignment — spanning jet lag, sleep, chronotype, hydration, fueling, illness risk, and heat/altitude interactions. Selected for the journal’s curated collection “Competing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Environmental Challenges, Health and Performance.”
Effects of Magnesium L-Threonate on Sleep, Recovery, and Neurocognitive Performance in Collegiate Athletes
In this four-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled UCLA trial, 1 g of magnesium L-threonate compound nightly showed no benefit on the primary Week 4 deep-sleep outcome (+0.7 min versus placebo; 95% CI −6.0 to 7.3; p = .844; n = 75). Two prespecified secondary reaction-time tests favored MgT in 107 athletes with paired measurements. These updated results are unpublished and require replication. The linked AMSSM 2026 poster reports the earlier preliminary analysis.
Resistance Exercise During Post-Concussion Rehabilitation in NCAA Division I Athletes
In a preliminary, uncontrolled observational study of 11 NCAA Division I athletes (8 female, mean age 19.8 yrs), supervised weightlifting introduced a mean 5.2 days post-concussion was not associated with symptom worsening (0/11 worse SCAT6). Mean symptom scores dropped from 22.9 to 0.9. As a single-arm pilot, findings are hypothesis-generating, not causal.
