| Research Abstract |
There is a significant positive correlation between daily physical activity (DPA) and melatonin concentration at bedtime in children. There is also a significant positive correlation between DPA (Z score) of Sunday and waking oral temperature (Z score) of Monday. Our results suggest that a lower level of daily physical activity may be a cause in retreatment of melatonin circadian rhythm. Increased daily physical activities in children would contribute to the synchronization of circadian rhythm.
