TI  - Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire - Turkish Version: Study of Validity and Reliability
AB  - Objective: Athlete sleep behavior questionnaire (ASBQ) is a new,valid and reliable questionnaire for evaluating the sleep behaviors ofelite athletes. The main objective of the current study was to provideevidence for the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the ASBQ(ASBQ-TR).Materials and Methods: Ninety-seven athletes and eighty-three nonathletes were included in the current study and asked to completethe 18-item ASBQ-TR. A sub-group of athletes (n=50) completed theASBQ-TR twice, 7 days apart. The ASBQ was translated into Englishtwice and then back-translated to Turkish after the permission of theauthor was received. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency wereperformed via intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’salpha, respectively.Results: There was a significant difference between the athlete andnon-athlete groups in ASBQ-TR total score (38.4 and 36.2 respectively,p<0.05). Test-retest reliability of the questionnaire was acceptable(ICC=0.85). The factor loadings of ASBQ-TR were between 0.41 and0.82. One of the 18-items of the questionnaire was removed due to thefactor loading (below 0.40).Conclusion: The ASBQ-TR is a 17-item valid and reliable tool that can beused to identify sleep challenges that athletes face. The ASBQ-TR can beused as a practical tool for researchers and coaches evaluating the sleepbehaviors of elite athletes. This tool may also be used to examine thesleep behavior differences among sports with different recovery needsand training loads.
