I am in the middle of my statistical analysis and struggling to find the most appropriate test to determine the effect of average sleep stages over a period of 4 nights during the DOMS cycle.
I am trying to understand if greater proportions of specific stages of sleep may aid in recovery by comparing against repeated measures over baseline, peak doms and recovery.
I hope you can help.
Thanks
Dear Calvin,
The appropriate statistical test will depend upon the way you set up your data. From what you have written it sounds like you have a number of subjects who are in different DOM cycle categories along with a measure of the proportion of their sleep stages (which I assume will be a percentage). But you also mention that your data is repeated measures so I presume you are looking at different subjects over different nights.
If I am correct then the appropriate method sounds like a mixed factorial ANOVA but I would suggest that you only provide percentages for two of the sleep stages as the third stage percentage will depend on the other two.
