Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of study was to identify the relationships between the circadian preference and diurnal training times of elite volleyball players (n = 78). The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) was used to identify circadian preference, resulting in a point score. Diurnal training times were divided: morning training time (MTT), intermediate training time (ITT) and evening training time (ETT). One-way ANOVA showed a relationship between circadian preference and diurnal training time documented by point score differences in the MEQ between MTT, ITT and ETT (p < 0.01). A higher (p < 0.01) point score value in the MEQ was recorded in the MTT compared to the ETT. No difference was found between MTT and ITT and ITT and ETT (p > 0.05). The results of the study show the importance of the relationship between circadian preference and typical training times during the day. The influence of training time on the development of circadian preference will need to be verified experimentally.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
