WHEN to EXERCISE if You have high Body Mass Index?
For people, who have BMI >30, it's best to EXERCISE in the EVENING, according to a study published in Diabetes Care journal in April 2024.
Individuals, who exercised between 6pm and midnight had the lowest risk of mortality, CardioVascular Disease and Microvascular Disease.
It was a large study of nearly 30k participants, with a mean age of 62.2 years and a follow up of nearly 8 years.
The exercise was defined as aerobic moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA).
The authors concluded: 'Aerobic MVPA bouts undertaken in the evening were associated with the lowest risk of mortality, CardioVascular Disease, and MicroVascular Disease. Timing of physical activity may play a role in the future of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes management.'
