ABSTRACT:
The influence of direction of travel across time zones on visiting team athletic performance was investigated using analysis of variance procedures with archival data from the 1996 NCAA college football season. The results indicated that eastward traveling teams crossing at least one time zone scored fewer points, allowed more points, and suffered a greater margin of defeat in each quarter of play than westward traveling teams. It is suggested that interpretations of the present results based on crowd, learning, and rule factors are unsatisfactory and that an interpretation based on circadian dysrhythmia provides the best explanation of the data.
