dc.description.abstractObjective: To discuss the influence of biological clocks on traveling gymnasts. Methods: This conference reported on the scientific basis of the neurophysiology of biological rhythms and discussed associated factors such as travel, sleep, physical exercise and nutrition. Main results: The traveling gymnast is subject to the characteristics of the location, where they will compete and/or train, which can influence their daily routines and the functioning of their biological clocks with repercussions on their well-being and health general. In the case of athletes, who compete internationally, these aspects take on special relevance, given the possibility of crossing multiple time zones and the desynchronization of their biological rhythm. In this way, plan the athlete's trip appropriately and in a timely manner, considering their energy and nutritional needs, hydration, training, sleep and rest routines, which will allow them to better adapt to the new location and maximize their sport performance. There are several factors that must be considered during the gymnast's journey, namely age, sex, direction and number of time zones crossed, nutrition, dehydration, exposure to light, sleep-wake cycle, basal body temperature, melatonin production, physical exercise, and chronotype. Conclusions: Although jet-lag syndrome is benign, it can effectively break athletes' fashions and routines, negatively affecting their physical and mental health, as well as their sporting performance. It is necessary to educate athletes, coaches, parents and sports managers to fully prepare the athlete, prior to a trip related to a competition in order to avoid or minimize potential losses in sports performance, as well as, and firstly, a decrease in the health status.pt_PT
