The results of the study were published in the journal PNAS. Physical activity at different times of the day can affect the body in different ways because the biological processes depend on the circadian rhythm of the cells. To determine how the time of day when the exercise is done affects fat burning, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen studied the adipose tissue of mice after a session of high-intensity exercise performed at two points in the daily cycle. an early active phase and early resting phase (equivalent to late morning and late evening sessions in humans).
