Scott's Sports Rhetoric
Sports Biorhythm
If you are a sports bettor, coach, athlete, fantasy owner, or a person who lives in society with others. It is very imperative that you continue to read on, because this information could change your life. The use of biorhythms or circadian rhythms is categorized as chronobiology within the Western scientific community. Chronobiology is defined as "the study of rhythm patterns in biological phenomena." (British Journal of Sports Medicine 1998;32:101-106)
The scientific community looks at biorhythms as geophysical phenomena associated with the 24-hour rhythmic rotation of the earth on its axis and the transition from dawn to dusk.2 Scientists explain that the human biological clock is located within the hypothalamus, specifically in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). This accepted theory explains that light stimuli activate the SCN through the process of phototransduction (the transformation by photo receptors) of light changed into an electrical potential. The brain orchestrates communication among numerous nerve fiber pathways. Once the electrical impulse is communicated from the SCN to these nerve fibers, the influence upon athletic performance varies to include sleep; activity; rest; adjusting the core body temperature; hormone secretion; melatonin levels (melatonin is inhibited by light and causes drowsiness); biological drive; and emotional/psychological behaviors and processes. (J Neuroscience 1996;16(6):2097-2111; Acupuncture: A Comprehensive Text, 12th ed)
The release of neurotransmitters is involved with the mechanism of circadian rhythms. It is speculated that the SCN is densely innervated by serotonergic fibers.3,4 Acupuncture can significantly influence neurotransmitter firing; the synchronization of neurotransmitters is important to athletic performance.
WAKE UP! Okay, I know you skipped the entire top section so here it is, plain and simple. Your biorhythm influences your physical, emotional and intellectual cycles. If you are stuck between choosing two fantasy (football, baseball, etc.) players, take the one with the better biorhythm.
If you are looking to bet (legally) try finding a match up that has a quarter back with a high biorhythm score vs. a quarterback with a low biorhythm score(it is best to find a game with extremes). Lines are NOT adjusted by the biorhythm of the players so this is a huge advantage against the evil empire! See for yourself by clicking below. You can find an athletes birth date in their profile on their respective team website.
