First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 25-minute or 45-minute nap helps teenage soccer players run faster and feel less tired. Sixteen male players tried both nap lengths and a no-nap day. Results showed that napping improved agility and made exercise feel easier, but did not help them keep up their speed over repeated sprints.
