Sleep/wake behaviours in elite athletes from three different football codes

Australian Rules football, rugby union and soccer are popular football codes played in Australia. Factors including physical contact, types of movement and rules of each sport influence the physiological demand placed on players (Varley et al., 2014). Differences in gameplay between the Australian Rules football, rugby union and soccer mean that their method of training may differ, potentially impacting the sleep/wake behaviour of football players.
