Daily patterns of human exercise performance vary with individual body clock types

Abstract

The study explores the relationship between chronotype and morning-evening differences in aerobic exercise performance.

  • Diurnal variation in exercise performance has been documented.
  • The impact of circadian phenotype on the extent of these performance differences is not well understood.
  • Chronotype and sleep timing may influence aerobic exercise performance at different times of the day.
