Assessment

Primary outcomes

Sleep efficiency measured by Fitbit Inspire 3. Change from the mean value during the baseline observation period (weeks 1-4) to the mean value during the intervention period (weeks 6-9).

Key secondary outcomes

Total sleep time, wake after sleep onset, deep sleep duration, light sleep duration, and rapid eye movement sleep duration, all measured by Fitbit Inspire 3 and compared between the mean values during weeks 1-4 and weeks 6-9; total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Japanese version (PSQI-J); Sleep Difficulty Score; total score of the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS-J); Total Mood Disturbance score of the Japanese version of the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition; and sports injury severity score assessed using a modified Japanese version of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center questionnaire on health problems. Questionnaire-based outcomes were assessed at week 5 and week 10.

Interventions/Control_1

Intervention group: During the 4-week intervention period (weeks 6 to 9), personalized sleep feedback generated by ChatGPT-4o was delivered once daily via the LINE Messaging API based on the previous night's Fitbit Inspire 3 sleep metrics (eg, total sleep time, bedtime, wake time, sleep efficiency, and sleep stages) and each participant's mean values during the baseline observation period (weeks 1 to 4). Delivery was automatically triggered after morning Fitbit data synchronization and was generally provided once each morning before the participant started daily activities.

Interventions/Control_2

Control group: During the 4-week intervention period (weeks 6 to 9), general and nonpersonalized sleep-related information was delivered once daily via LINE. The contents were limited to basic sleep hygiene, the role of sleep, and general knowledge for athletes (eg, environmental adjustment and relaxation strategies), and did not include advice based on individual sleep data. Messages were delivered every morning at 8:00 AM.

Results

All 25 participants were included in the final analysis. Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed significant improvements in changes in sleep efficiency, rapid eye movement sleep duration, total PSQI-J score, Sleep Difficulty Score, and Total Mood Disturbance. In contrast, no significant between-group differences were observed in total sleep time, wake after sleep onset, deep sleep duration, light sleep duration, daytime sleepiness, or sports injury severity score.

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were 25 female high school soccer players with a mean age of 16.5 years (SD 0.7). After randomization, 12 participants were allocated to the intervention group and 13 to the control group. At baseline, there were no significant between-group differences in demographic characteristics or any outcome measures.

Participant flow

A total of 25 participants were enrolled before study initiation. After randomization, 12 participants were assigned to the intervention group and 13 to the control group. There were no dropouts during the study period, and all 25 participants were included in the final analysis.

Adverse events

No serious adverse events related to the intervention were reported in this study.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was sleep efficiency. Secondary outcomes were total sleep time, wake after sleep onset, deep sleep duration, light sleep duration, rapid eye movement sleep duration, total PSQI-J score, Sleep Difficulty Score, total ESS-J score, Total Mood Disturbance score, and sports injury severity score assessed using a modified OSTRC-H-J. Objective sleep metrics were continuously measured using Fitbit Inspire 3, and questionnaire-based assessments were conducted at week 5 and week 10.
