Identification Of Chronotypes Of University´S Students
Vol.7,No.2(2013)
The aim of the study was chronotype´s identification of university´s students who have been practising the activity of aerobics during their free time. The experimental group composed of subjects (n = 62, age = 21.2±1.4 years) who attended I. and II. level of university studies. The subjects attended various study programmes and fields of study on particular faculties of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica. We identified chronotypes using the method of standardised questionnaire. The identification was done by quantification of score points of all questions. The scores were added together and the sum converted into a five-point scale. The analysis has shown that 48 subjects (77.4 %) tend to be the neither chronotype, 8 subjects (12.9 %) are represented towards a moderately morning chronotype. Moderately evening chronotype is dominated for 5 subjects (8.1 %). 1 subject (1.6 %) was definitely an evening chronotype and the definite morning chronotype was not identified.
