Injury, Sleep, Mood And Performance And The Role Of Mental Toughness During An Arctic Ultra-marathon (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martindale, R., Graham, S., Connaboy, C., & McKinley, M. (2015, May). Injury, Sleep, Mood And Performance And The Role Of Mental Toughness During An Arctic Ultra-marathon. Poster presented at American College of Sports Medicine. Annual Meeting, San Diego, California, USA

Studies examining ultra-endurance racing in ‘extreme environments’ are sparse. However, research has shown that injury and sleep management are crucial. For example, sleep deprivation has been shown to be associated with mood, which can impact on per...
