Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Research suggests that young athletes may present different levels of perfectionism, which affect sport and academic performances. Sleep is also a variable that can affects grades. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between personal standards (PS) perfectionism, sleep and school performance in young athletes. Methods: 27 young athletes (13-16y) wore an actigraph for a week and completed an adapted version of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale at the beginning, middle and end of the school year. Sleep habits during weekdays (WD) and weekends (WE), and social jetlag (SJ) were extracted from the actigraphy. Mean performance of the two main school subjects were taken from the final report at the end of the school year ( M grades). A linear regression was done between PS and M grades. Then, we used Hayes' PROCESS Macro V3.4 to examine the role of sleep as a moderator of the relation between PS and M grades. Results: PS significantly predicts M grades (β=.59, p =.001; R a 2 =.34, p =.001). The addition of the interactions terms, first between SJ and PS, then, between WE bedtimes and PS, and finally, between WE waketimes and PS, explained a significant increase in variance in M grades (ΔR 2 =.14, F (1, 23)=31.81, p <.001; ΔR 2 =.17, F (1, 23)=25.99, p <.001; ΔR 2 =.10, F (1, 23)=12.43, p =.002, respectively). Therefore, when SJ is higher than 39min, WE bedtimes are after 10:21PM and WE waketimes are after 7:12AM, PS and M grades are significantly related. Conclusion: These results show that when higher SJ and later WE bedtimes and waketimes are present, low PS are associated with low grades and high PS are associated with high grades. In contrast, when a small SJ, earlier WE bedtimes and waketimes are present, PS are not associated with grades. These results suggest that young athletes may be more vulnerable to the effect of sleep disturbances on grades depending on various factors such as perfectionism. Support: N/A
