Circadian biology and exercise: the time to move
How Body Clocks Influence Exercise and the Best Times to Be Active
AI simplified
Abstract
Exercise performance varies by time of day in both humans and rodents.
- Circadian biology significantly influences physiological responses to exercise timing.
- The circadian clock may regulate exercise capacity by coordinating tissue-specific responses.
- Fuel metabolism and mitochondrial production are linked to the timing of exercise.
- Synchrony between circadian clocks and physiological pathways in muscle and other tissues could affect exercise performance.
- Future individualized exercise protocols may be developed based on understanding these circadian mechanisms.
