The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of gender difference and circadian rhythm on totalmood disturbance TMD for volleyball players. To achieve the purpose, a total of thirty volleyball players[men n = 15 and women n = 15 ] age between 19 years and 22 years from Einstein College ofEngineering, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects. The two independent variables of gender andcircadian variations and dependent variable of total mood disturbance were selected for this study. Theexperimental design used was static group factorial design. The data were collected at 02:00, 06:00,10:00, 14:00, 18:00 and 22:00 hours on total mood disturbance by using profile of mood state POMS questionnaire during the academic year of 2010 – 2011. Collected data were subjected to statisticalanalysis by using two-way factorial 2 x 6 Analysis of Variance ANOVA and Cosinor analysis. Therewas significant difference in total mood disturbance between genders, significant difference in total mooddisturbance at different times of the day irrespective of gender status and significant difference in totalmood disturbance for men and women volleyball players at different times of the day. Significantcircadian rhythm exists on total mood disturbance for women. Insignificant circadian rhythm exists ontotal mood disturbance for men. It is recommended to the physical educators to adopt the findings of thisstudy while planning to improve sports skills for the players and athletes
