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.”
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot of 107 NCAA Division I athletes at UCLA, nightly Magnesium L-Threonate (1 g) produced a 52.3 ms faster cognitive reaction time (p = 0.001), 54.6 additional minutes of total sleep at Week 2 (p = 0.002), and a 6.27-point higher WHOOP sleep score (p = 0.010) versus placebo. Benefits emerged within 2–3 weeks. Preliminary results; full manuscript in preparation.
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.
