May warrant circadian timing for grip strength tests; leaves open real-world effects on function or falls.
Does circadian phase and prior wake affect neuromuscular function (postural balance and maximal grip strength)?
Circadian phase significantly affects maximal grip strength, but neuromuscular function remains relatively stable across normal wake durations.
Sargent et al. (2010) studied this question.
