(MENAFN) A recent study conducted on mice has shown that exercising in the morning may be the most effective way to burn fat. The research found that an increase in fat metabolism has been linked to physical activity at the right time of day. Mice who exercised during their early active phase, which corresponds to morning exercise in humans, increased their metabolism more than those who exercised during the time they usually rest.
According to Juleen Zierath of the Karolinska Institutet's department of molecular medicine and surgery and department of physiology and pharmacology, “Our results suggest that late-morning exercise could be more effective than late-evening exercise in terms of boosting the metabolism and the burning of fat, and if this is the case, they could prove of value to people who are overweight.”
Researchers found that physical activity at different times of the day can affect the body in different ways, as biological processes depend on the circadian rhythms of the cells, which are part of the body’s internal clock.
To determine how the time of day affects the burning of fat, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen studied the body fat of mice after a session of high-intensity exercise on a treadmill performed at two points of the daily cycle. The results of the study suggest that exercising in the morning may be the most effective time to burn fat, as it can increase fat metabolism and help people lose weight.
The study findings are consistent with previous research indicating that the timing of exercise can affect the body's ability to burn fat. Other studies have shown that exercise in the morning can help to lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce stress.
In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that morning exercise may be an effective way to burn fat and lose weight, but further research is needed to determine the optimal time for exercise in humans. Nevertheless, these findings provide valuable insights into the importance of circadian rhythms in the body's response to physical activity and could have important implications for the development of personalized exercise regimens.
