Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of circadian rhythm on selected physiological variables. Ten male kabaddi players studying Masters Degree in physical education at Alagappa University College of physical education, Karaikudi Tamilnadu, India were selected as trained subjects. They were in good state of fitness and regularly took part in physical activities both morning and evening as per their curriculum. Ten male kabaddi players studying Masters Degree in arts science at Alagappa government Arts College, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India were selected as untrained subjects. The dependent variables namely Body temperature measured by Bio–monitor in Celsius and Resting heart rate measured by Bio–monitor in Beats per minutes. The experimental design used was static group factorial design. The first factor consisted of training status as trained and untrained kabaddi players, second factor consisted of circadian variation measured at six different times of the day (02:00, 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00 hours) The Data were collected at different times of a day and statistically analyzed by using Two factor analysis of variance with second factor repeated (2 x 6 ANOVA) measures was used to find out the influence of each of the factor independently and also their combined influence on each of the selected physiological variables of college men students.0.05 level of significance was fixed to find out that there was an any significant improvement on circadian rhythm of selected physiological variables
