Abstract
Introduction Jordanian Paralympic (Para) athletes are a small and rare category among Jordanian athletes; their nutrition and wellness (Sleep quality, fatigue, stress, mental health) are essential to their performance. This research aims to assess Jordanian Paralympic athletes' nutritional status, body components, muscle Soreness, fatigue, mental stress, sleep patterns, and alertness.
Methodology
A descriptive case series study will be conducted with 74 participants, adult male and female Jordanian Paralympic athletes who are at age of 18 years and above and diagnosed with different disabilities. Three 24-hour dietary recalls (24HR) will be collected (2 training days, 1 resting day). Moreover, the Hooper questionnaire to assess the feelings of sleep quality, as well as ratings of fatigue, stress, and muscle soreness; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess subjective sleep quality over the previous month; the digit cancellation test of mental alertness in addition to body composition analysis (bioelectrical impedance); and anthropometric measurements will take place. Statistical Analyses: Means ± standard deviations, the normality of data distribution, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and correlations between the variables that will be measured will be conducted.
Results
Research in progress. Findings will be written upon completion.
Conclusions
Research in progress. Conclusions will be written upon completion.
