Evaluation's options of diurnal variation of physical performance of university students: a pilot study

Kondrátová, Dominika, Vančová, 1991- Evaluation's options of diurnal variation of physical performance of university students: a pilot study / Dominika Vančová, Pavol Pivovarniček ... [et al.]. -- The aim of the pilot study was to verify the evaluation´s methods of differences of the morning and the evening performance of university students. We used three parameters for evaluation: reaction time to various directions(RT), tapping frequency of lower limbs (TF) and jump abilities (JA). The experimental ensemble consisted of university students (n = 18, age = 21.0±1.6 years) attending various study programmes at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica. The reaction time (RT) was measured by the device FiTRO Agility Check (FiTRONiC, Bratislava, Slovak Republic). The tapping frequency (TF) was measured by the device FiTROtapping(FiTRONiC, Bratislava, Slovak Republic). Jump abilities (JA) were measured by the test Countermovement jump (CMJ) by the device Myotest PRO (Myotest, Switzerland). We do not detect significant difference in any indicator when we compare the morning and the evening performance because the effect size level was small in RT, TF and also in JA. The effect size value was in RT ES = 0.19, in TF – ES = 0.28 and in JA – ES = 0.15. The limit of the methods was shown in time- consuming of laboratory measurements. The evaluation of larger samples of students will require longer realization of mentioned measurements
