Effect of time of day on the accuracy and consistency of the badminton serve
Article Abstract:
Studies were conducted to investigate diurnal variations in the accuracy and consistency of the short and long badminton serves and to compare these observations with diurnal variations of temperature and grip strength. It is suggested that some factors that deteriorate during the course of the time spent awake might be involved, in addition to body temperature, in determining accuracy in the tasks measured.

Gender differences in the circadian variations in muscle strength assessed with and without superimposed electrical twitches
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to characterize and compare circadian patterns in maximal strength of knee muscles in males and females, taking into account a control for maximal effort by superimposed electrical twitches. The results suggest that specific adaptations might occur, depending on the subject's characteristics, the muscle groups involved and the strain imposed by the characteristics of the muscle action.

A biomechanical analysis of good and poor performers of the vertical jump
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate muscle and technique characteristics associated with better and poorer performers of the counter-movement vertical jump. It was shown that the muscle strength characteristics of the lower limb joints are the main determinant of vertical jump performance with technique playing a smaller one.
