Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ) index and time at minimum core temperature. Nine athletes were requested to answer the MCTQ questionnaire and monitor their core temperature during night. In the MCTQ, the midpoint of sleep on free day, which is corrected for sleep debt accumulated during the workweek (MSFsc), was calculated. The core temperature was monitored using a telemetric system with an ingestible capsule-type sensor. The correlation between the MSFsc and the time at the lowest core temperature was examined. The range of MSFsc and time at minimum core temperature were 2.54–7.75 (mean ±SE: 4.54 ± 0.52, 95%CI: 3.52–5.55) and 3:43–7:41 (mean ±SE: 5:24 ± 0:32, 95%CI: 4:21–6:27), respectively. Four participants with their MSFsc later than 4.96 showed times at minimum core temperature later than 6:00. A significant correlation between the MSFsc and time at minimum core temperature was observed, with a very high correlation coefficient (r = 0.86, p < 0.01). These results suggest that the MSFsc may be useful to find athletes who have a better chance to advance their circadian rhythmicity for morning competitions.
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.
