About

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chronotype differences on balance and muscle strength in young adults. Chronotypes of all participants will be determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. All assessment measurements determined for young adult individuals will be performed first at 09:00 in the morning and then again at 19:00 in the evening.

Full description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chronotype differences on balance and muscle strength in young adults. Inclusion criteria are being between 45-65 years old, not having any neurological or orthopedic disorders, not having a vestibular disease that causes balance problems. Exclusion criteria are trauma history, anatomical deformities and skeletal system fractures, having a previous injury, and the presence of pain that will prevent participation in the tests. Chronotypes of all participants will be determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. All assessment measurements determined for young adult individuals will be performed first at 09:00 in the morning and then again at 19:00 in the evening. Muscle strength and balance assessments made in the morning and evening will be compared. Chronotypes of the participants will be evaluated with the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, their balance will be evaluated with the One-Legged Standing Test, lower extremity muscle strength with a myometer, and their functionality will be evaluated with the Timed Stand-Up-Sit Test and the 30-Second Sit-Up Test.
