If you can produce research that identifies how much of the small performance difference relates to circadian rhythms as opposed to those sort of obvious factors, I'd like to see it.


Google "circadian rhythm cognitive performance" and you will find loads of studies going back 40+ years. This is all well established. They run the same tests on people at different times of the day and compare the results.

Nice graph on page 5 of the pdf (numbered 11 on the page) about alertness that would be relevant. I couldn't find a clear one on physical performance that didn't also involve travel, I guess because it is more difficult to do comparative tests hour by hour.

Yes, I know there is no meaningful evidence of any significant effect on performance levels in pro sport. Kind of my point.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

So I take it from this you do not believe alertness, speed of thought, or decision making effect a teams chances of winning a game? It is only physical fitness that matters? There is plenty of evidence in the links that cognitive function varies depending on the time of day.

Anyway the original point was this, your incredulity that a flight to Toronto would have any impact on a persons body clock.

I would assume that everyone would agree that there's no reason why a player's body clock would perform any worse at an 8pm Uk kickoff than it would at a 3pm UK kickoff and that's a body clock differential of 5 hours.

So let's cut out the bollox.

It does.

The answer to the "What's the story morning glory?" question is in there too... :D
