Sexual dimorphism on the acute effect of exercise in the morning vs. evening: A randomized crossover study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mammalian cells possess molecular clocks, the adequate functioning of which is decisive for metabolic health. Exercise is known to modulate these clocks, potentially having distinct effects on metabolism depending on the time of day. This study aimed to investigate the impact of morning vs. evening moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on glucose regulation and energy metabolism in healthy men and women. It also aimed to elucidate molecular mechanisms within skeletal muscle.

Methods

Using a randomized crossover design, healthy men (n = 18) and women (n = 17) performed a 60-min bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in the morning and evening. Glucose regulation was continuously monitored starting 24 h prior to the exercise day and continuing until 48 h post-exe
