11 Apr 2024 • Timing of physical activity may play a role in the future of obesity and T2D management. As per recent research, compared to those with minimal physical activity, participants who exercised in the evening showed the most significant risk reduction, followed by afternoon and morning activity, though to a lesser extent.

Engaging in aerobic moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the evening was associated with the lowest risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and microvascular disease (MVD).

These findings underscore the potential role of timing in optimizing the benefits of physical activity for individuals managing obesity and T2D, highlighting the importance of considering when exercise is performed in disease management strategies.
