Role of biological rhythms in the performance of physical activity
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2017 Most organisms display various periodicities. Periodicity has been observed in humans in association with sleep, body temperature and hormone secretion. The molecular mechanisms involved are being elucidated by the investigation of clock genes in mammals.
