Influence of genetic factors on health and fitness and the response to exercise training

1 CEC

Presented by James Skinner

Description: People want to know if exercising in the morning versus the evening is better for metabolic health and weight loss. It is important to recognize that the body’s response to exercise is different depending on the time of day. The purpose of this talk is to provide a brief scientific overview of these time dependent differences. We will focus on the impact of exercise timing on metabolism, body composition, food intake, and sleep. Exercise at any time of the day is beneficial, but some people may benefit from a more precise prescription which includes time of day.
