Chronobiologists study the effects of time on life processes. I read a review of a new book that looks at chronobiology and includes some interesting items that would seem to have some implications for orienteers:
"Most of us are mentally sharpest some three hours after waking, when concentration and problem-solving abilities may be up to 30 percent better than at other times of day."
And, "To set a personal speed record, try scheduling your run or swim for early evening, when your perception of exertion is low and your muscles are at their most powerful."
So, orienteers are sort of stuck. From a chronobiological perspective, your peak problem-solving and physical abilities don't correspond. Oh well.
I also came across the online Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. The questionnaire takes a few minutes.

Test effettuato: risultato 37, ossia sono un tipo moderatamente serale.
