Engaging in regular exercise late in the day improves blood glucose control among older adults, according to scientists in the Netherlands.
In the research, published in the Diabetologia journal, the impact of exercise was studied on 775 Dutch men and women. The participants were aged between 45 and 65 years-old. They were split into three groups based on their workout timings – morning (between 6am and 12pm), afternoon (12pm to 6pm), or evening (6pm to midnight). The intensity of their workouts was moderate-to-vigorous.
