Time of Day Does Not Modulate Improvements in Motor Performance following a Repetitive Ballistic Motor Training Task

Figure 1

Improvement in maximum thumb acceleration after motor training is not influenced by time of day. Average ( ) maximum left APB abduction acceleration readings (mean ± SEM) recorded from 22 participants who participated in two experimental sessions: morning (AM) or evening (PM) on separate occasions. Average maximum thumb acceleration values are shown before (pre-MT) and after (post-MT) motor training. Maximum acceleration increased significantly following motor training, and this effect was independent of time of day.
