Does time of the day differentially affects jump performed in athletes and non-athletes?

Time of the day shows effect on different parameters of human behaviour. In this study we determined whether the time of day influences the height and power of vertical jumps in amateur athletes and non-athletes. Here we describe that time of the day have significant effects on jump height but not power, regardless of the training level of the participant. This information may be of special interest in routines of biomechanics assessments of lower extremity.
