Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>With the experimental approach the following outcome will appear:<br /><br><br /><br>1) Effects of light- and food-entrained circadian misalignment versus<br /><br>circadian-alignment on:<br /><br>(i) circadian patterns of parameters associated with circadian rhythm, and of<br /><br>parameters associated with food intake patterns, namely patterns of<br /><br>concentrations of the following blood-parameters: melatonin, leptin, glucose,<br /><br>insulin, ghrelin, GLP-1; VAS-ratings on appetite sensations; VAS-ratings on the<br /><br>stress-related POMS- and STAI-questionnaires.<br /><br>(ii) food choice, food reward, and energy intake.<br /><br>(iii) circadian patterns of energy expenditure and its components;<br /><br>(iv) substrate oxidation; macronutrient-balance;<br /><br>(v) circadian patterns of body-temperature;<br /><br>(vi) physical activity and its circadian patterns;<br /><br>(vii) circadian patterns of heart rate<br /><br>viii sleep quality</p><br>
