The Impact of Circadian Rhythm and Running Training on The Agility and Lower Limb Performance of Pre-Adolescent Football Players

Abstract

Aim: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of running training in accordance with the circadian rhythm on the agility and lower extremity muscles of football players. Method: The subjects were divided into three groups according to the chronotype of the research: Runing group morning (10.52±0.51 years), Running group evening (11.09±0.67 years), and the control group (11.86±1.17 years). The study involved 75 volunteer football players. The subjects' age, height, body weight, functional performance tests and 505 agility tests were measured. The data obtained were analysed using SPSS 25 package programme. The significance level was set at p>0.05. Results: According to the results obtained from the data, a significant difference was determined in the values of single-leg jump, triple jump, 6-meter single-leg jump, crossover jump, and 505 agility tests based on the ANOVA analysis (p<0.05). The greatest effect in the study was observed in the morning running group, where the single-leg jump value increased by 24.77%, the triple jump by 10.67%, and the crossover jump by 8.81%, while the 6-meter single-leg jump increased by 8.75% and the 505 agility test value decreased by 5.25%. Conclusion: Consequently, following a 6-week running training programme synchronised with the circadian rhythm, it was determined that the performance of football players who ran in the morning was more effective. Running has a positive effect on the agility and leg strength of preadolescent football players. It is therefore recommended that this training be included in the training programmes to be implemented in terms of sportive performance.
