我们调查了昼夜节律的不利因素(即在不同的时区比赛)对北美三大体育联盟：国家篮球协会、国家曲棍球联盟和国家橄榄球联盟胜率的影响。我们回顾了美国国家篮球协会、美国国家曲棍球联盟和美国国家橄榄球联盟5年来的常规赛，并注意到客队的胜率取决于旅行方向(西部、东部和同一时区)和比赛时间(白天和晚上的比赛)。使用t检验和方差分析来评估昼夜节律劣势、其方向、移动的时区数量和比赛时间对每个大联盟胜率的影响。结果显示，胜率与客场比赛的时区数量之间存在关联，对于向西行驶的球队来说，这是一个明显的劣势。不同行进方向的球队胜率差异有统计学意义(F-2，F-5908=16.12，P
We investigated the effects of a circadian disadvantage (i.e. playing in a different time zone) on the winning percentages in three major sport leagues in North America: the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League and the National Football League. We reviewed 5years of regular season games in the National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and National Football League, and noted the winning percentage of the visiting team depending on the direction of travel (west, east, and same time zone) and game time (day and evening games). T-tests and analysis of variance were performed to evaluate the effects of the circadian disadvantage, its direction, the number of time zones travelled, and the game time on winning percentages in each major league. The results showed an association between the winning percentages and the number of time zones traveled for the away evening games, with a clear disadvantage for the teams travelling westward. There was a significant difference in the teams' winning percentages depending on the travelling direction in the National Basketball Association (F-2,F-5908=16.12, P
