This study examines the neurophysiological basis of sleep deprivation on high-intensity endurance using electroencephalography (EEG). In this crossover study, twenty firefighters were subjected to both sleep deprivation (SD) and normal sleep conditions, with each participant performing endurance treadmill exercise the following morning after each condition. EEG signals were recorded before and after high-intensity endurance exercise, and power spectrum analysis and functional connectivity analysis were performed on sleep related frequency bands rhythm: \u03b4 (0.5\u20134\u00a0Hz) and \u03b8 (4\u20138\u00a0Hz). The EEG power spectral and functional connectivity were measured by repeated measure analysis of variance.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The SD condition had an average sleep duration of 3.78\u2009\u00b1\u20090.69\u00a0h, while the duration for normal sleep was 7.63\u2009\u00b1\u20090.52\u00a0h. After high-intensity endurance exercise, the SD condition had a higher maximum heart rate (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and shorter exercise time (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) than normal sleep. Compared with before exercise, the \u03b4 band in the left parietal lobe P7 channel increased significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), and the \u03b8 band in the central Cz channel and the left and right parietal lobe P7 and P8 channel increased significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01 &amp; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090 0.05) in SD and normal sleep conditions after exercise. After exercise, compared with normal sleep, the \u03b4 band power in occipital O1 and Oz channels and parietal P7 and TP7 channels in SD significantly decreased (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 &amp; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01); the power of the \u03b8 band decreased significantly in the occipital O1 channel, central CZ channel and the left and right parietal P7 and P8 channel (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 &amp; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Whole connectivity showed a significant increase (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) in the \u03b4 band for the SD condition at post-exhaustion. Local connectivity analysis identified a localized network in the \u03b4 band with reduced (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) post-exhaustion in the SD condition displaying inter-hemispheric differences in certain connections (FP1-CP4, T7-C4, T7-TP8, and O1-FT8) and intra-hemispheric (C3-CPz and Pz-P4) variations.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Sleep deprivation significantly reduced maximum endurance performance, indicating decreased neural activity in the central and parietal brain regions.
