Summary

If it is possible to clarify the effects of short naps during the daytime on children involved in sports activities, there is a possibility that it can be applied to improve the quality of afternoon athletic performance. Therefore, we examined the effects of a short nap during the daytime on children, and suggested that a short nap during the daytime in children can suppress the decline in afternoon athletic performance.
