Consistent exercise timing as a strategy to increase physical activity: A feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction/purpose

Observational research suggests that consistent exercise timing could be leveraged to promote moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among adults with obesity. However, the feasibility and acceptability of prescribed consistent exercise timing in a free-living setting is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of prescribed consistent exercise timing in a free-living setting among inactive adults with obesity (primary) and to compare MVPA timing prescriptions and characterize exercise barriers/facilitators (secondary).

Methods

Using a within-subjects design, inactive adults with obesity (n=15) were randomized in counterbalanced order to three 3-wk exercise timing conditions separated by 2-wk washou
