Purpose: The Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) is an 18-item self-reported questionnaire that can be used to screen for sleep disorders in athletes and assess environmental, behavioral, and sports-related factors along with sleep disorders. This study aimed to analyze the reliability and validity of the ASBQ translated into Japanese (ASBQ-J).
Patients and Methods: 111 female collegiate athletes completed both the initial test and retest. Independent variables were what kind of sports they perform, level as an athlete, grade (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), and age. The reliability of the survey was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the correlation between the total ASBQ scores and three components which were routine/environmental, behavioral, and sports factors.
Results: A total of 37.8% of athletes had ASBQ scores equal or less than 36 indicating good sleep. However, 19.8% of athletes scored more than 42, indicating poor sleep. Cronbach alpha was 0.62 and 0.65 for test and retest, respectively. Intraclass correlation was 0.78 (P < 0.01), indicating sufficient internal consistency and test–retest validity. Mean ASBQ scores were 38.5 ± 5.0 and 37.0 ± 6.5 for test and retest, respectively, and it was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.37). The correlation coefficients between the ASBQ-J and component scores were all statistically significant (all P < 0.01).
Conclusion: ASBQ-J is a reliable questionnaire for assessing sleep disorders in athletes whose primary language is Japanese.

日语运动员睡眠行为问卷 (ASBQ-J)：适应和验证研究

目的：运动员睡眠行为问卷 (ASBQ) 是一份包含 18 项的自我报告问卷，可用于筛查运动员的睡眠障碍，并评估环境、行为和运动相关因素以及睡眠障碍。本研究旨在分析日语ASBQ（ASBQ-J）翻译的信度和效度。
患者和方法： 111 名女大学生运动员完成了初测和复测。自变量是他们进行的运动类型、运动员水平、年级（一年级、二年级、三年级、四年级）和年龄。使用 Cronbach's alpha 和组内相关性评估调查的可靠性，并计算 Pearson 相关系数以确定 ASBQ 总分与常规/环境、行为和运动因素三个组成部分之间的相关性。
结果：共有 37.8% 的运动员 ASBQ 分数等于或低于 36，表明睡眠良好。然而，19.8%的运动员得分超过42分，表明睡眠质量不佳。测试和再测试的 Cronbach α 值分别为 0.62 和 0.65。组内相关性为0.78（P <0.01），表明有足够的内部一致性和重测效度。测试和复测的平均ASBQ分数分别为38.5±5.0和37.0±6.5，两组之间没有显着差异（P = 0.37）。ASBQ-J 与各成分得分之间的相关系数均具有统计学意义（均P < 0.01）。
结论： ASBQ-J 是评估母语为日语的运动员睡眠障碍的可靠问卷。
