Showa Nishikawa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Motoyichiro Nishikawa) conducted a sleep training session called "Sleep Training" for 500 students belonging to sports clubs at Kyushu Sangyo University Kyushu High School, a sports powerhouse in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Based on the training results of the soccer club last year, the target was expanded to all sports clubs this year. With the main theme of "The Relationship between Sleep and Performance," we shared the role of sleep and specific practical methods essential for connecting daily practice to physical growth and skill retention.
What are the sleep habits to reflect the results of practice?
For athletes, "sleep" is not just a rest but an important preparation period to maximize the next day's performance. In this training, we explained from a scientific perspective that high-quality sleep not only promotes skeletal development and physical strength improvement but also significantly affects concentration and instantaneous judgment during matches.
500 students enthusiastically participated
At the venue where all sports club members gathered, many students were seen taking notes and listening intently. During the Q&A session after the lecture, specific questions related to their actual competitive lives, such as how to adjust on the day of a match and how to take effective naps, were raised one after another, leading to active exchanges. Regardless of grade or event, it was a meaningful time to sincerely face their own sleep and condition.
Raising awareness of the sleep environment through bedding experience
A trial space for Showa Nishikawa's MuAtsu mattress was also set up at the venue. By actually experiencing the bedding, we feel that the students were able to realize once again that the sleep environment has a significant meaning in supporting athletes' performance.
Our company will continue to, including Kyushu Sangyo University Kyushu High School, support those aiming for their goals...
