Team sport performance following eastward and westward long-haul air travel

Introduction: Though international travel is a requirement for elite team-sport athletes, limited information is available on the post-travel recovery timeline1. Moreover, whilst it is proposed that jet-lag symptoms are worse following eastward compared to westward long-haul air travel2, this is yet to be confirmed from relevant physical performance measures. Consequently, the present study determined the effects of eastward and westward long-haul air travel on physical performance relevant to team-sports.
