Objective: Using meta-analysis to comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate the impact of acute sleep deprivation on different sports performance of athletes, this study aims to provide scientific guidance for coaches in optimizing and adjusting training and competition arrangements.

Methods: Establishing literature inclusion and exclusion criteria, we conducted searches in both Chinese and English databases. Using stata 14.0, we analyzed 75 indicators from 27 included literature, focusing on three aspects: the impact of acute sleep deprivation on overall athletic performance, the impact on sporting performance across various athletic abilities, and the disparities in athletic performance between morning and afternoon following acute sleep deprivation.

Results: The effect size of acute sleep deprivation on overall athletic performance was -0.56 (P<0.05). Sub-analyses revealed effect sizes of -0.23 (P<0.05) for whole night sleep deprivation, -1.17 (P<0.05) for partial sleep deprivation at the end of the night, and -0.25 (P>0.05) for partial sleep deprivation in the beginning of the night. The effect sizes of acute sleep deprivation on high intensity intermittent exercise, skill control, speed, aerobic endurance, and explosive power indicators were -1.57, -1.06, -0.67, -0.54, and -0.39 respectively (P<0.05). The effect sizes of acute sleep deprivation on the overall athletic performance in the morning and afternoon were -0.30, and -1.11, respectively (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Acute sleep deprivation significantly impairs the overall athletic performance of athletes, with a more pronounced negative impact observed with partial sleep deprivation at the end of the night. Various types of exercise performance are adversely affected by acute sleep deprivation, with magnitude of impact ranking high intensity intermittent, skill control, speed, aerobic endurance, and explosive power. Following acute sleep deprivation, athletes' overall sporting performance in the afternoon is inferior to that in the morning.

目标： 通过元分析全面和定量评估急性睡眠剥夺对运动员不同运动表现的影响，本研究旨在为教练在优化和调整训练及比赛安排方面提供科学指导。

方法： 制定了文献纳入和排除标准，并在中文和英文数据库中进行了检索。使用stata 14.0分析了27篇纳入文献中的75个指标，重点关注三个方面：急性睡眠剥夺对整体运动表现的影响、对各种运动能力的体育表现影响以及急性睡眠剥夺后上午与下午运动表现的差异。

结果： 急性睡眠剥夺对整体运动表现的影响量为-0.56 (PPPP>0.05)。对高强度间歇运动、技能控制、速度、有氧耐力和爆发力指标，急性睡眠剥夺的影响量分别为-1.57, -1.06, -0.67, -0.54 和 -0.39 (PP

结论： 急性睡眠剥夺显著损害了运动员的整体运动表现，在夜间末段部分睡眠剥夺的负面影响更为明显。各种类型的运动表现都会受到急性睡眠剥夺的影响，影响程度依次为高强度间歇、技能控制、速度、有氧耐力和爆发力。在经历急性睡眠剥夺后，下午的总体运动表现劣于上午。
