Abstract
A weak correlation of 0.360 was found between the chronotype scores from two different questionnaires in 351 elite athletes.
- The reduced version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ) and the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ) were used to assess chronotype.
- Weak correlations were observed between the rMEQ scores and the corrected midpoint of sleep from the MCTQ.
- The corrected midpoint of sleep (MSFsc) showed a weak correlation with age (|r| = 0.374).
- Chronotype determination may vary depending on the questionnaire used and the specific sport of the athlete.
