POTENTIAL IMPACT OF CIRCADIAN DISRUPTION (JET-LAG) ON PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PERFORMANCE.

For visitor games, visitor scores increased from 95.18 (1 day rest) to 97.11 at five days rest (p<0.0001) and home team win margin decreased from 4.3 (1 day rest) to 0.471 at five days rest (p<0.0001). In multivariate regression, with visitor team westward jet-lagged & home team non-jetlagged, home wins (60% to 68%, p=0.092) & scoring (99.07 to 99.31, p<=0.0001) increased, score margin decreased (3.24 to 2.83, p=0.031), and visitor points increased (95.84 to 96.49, p=0.083). B CONCLUSIONS: b When non-jet lagged home teams played jet-lagged visitors, scoring of both teams was higher. [Extracted from the article]
