The effect of diurnal rhythms on static and dynamic balance performance

Abstract Study aim : The purpose of this research was to examine the effects different times day on static and dynamic balance performance. Material methods Thirty male individuals (age 22 ± 1.2 years, BMI 23.4 1.3 kg/m 2 , height 178.5 6.52 cm) volunteered for study. participants performed tests at 10:00, 15:00, 20:00. Static were measured using Y Balance Test (YBT) Error Scoring System (BESS). One-factor repeated measures ANOVA with LSD post-hoc procedure changes in morning, afternoon, evening. Results indicated a significant difference scores (p < 0.05). Post-hoc analysis indicates that mean errors afternoon exhibits significantly smaller than those morning = 0.024), evening 0.029). Other results showed differences means reaching distance larger 0.032), 0.026). Conclusions provide strong evidence about effect
