The purpose of this study was to examine acute effect of3-round sparing boxing contest undergoing in the morning or evening on changes of T/C ratio, the variable considered as a marker of state of anabolic-catabolic eąuilibrium.

According to the diurnal rhythm mean pre-contests C and T were lower than those in the morning of day A and B, and the pre-contest values before noon (day A) were higher compared those in the afternoon (day B). Day A exertion brought about significant rise of C and T and non significant (by 14%) decrease of T/C. Day B effort resulted in significant rise of C, smali (by 8%) increase in T, and significant decrease in T/C. Mean end-exercise T/C was higher (by 21%) on day A in comparison to that on day B.
