A new study from researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia, published in the journal Diabetes Care , suggests that getting the majority of daily physical activity during the evening offers the most health benefits for people who have obesity.
A recent study reports that more than 1 billion people in the world are considered to have obesity, with projections that this number could potentially hit 4 billion people by 2050 .
"One of the key drivers of obesity-related complications is insulin resistance — a condition which eventually leads to high blood glucose levels and type 2 diabetes. Having high blood glucose levels can cause catastrophic damage to our cardiovascular system and lead to organ failure," Sabag said.
For this study, Sabag and his team analyzed data from the U.K. Biobank of almost 30,000 people over the age of 40. All participants were considered to have obesity and about 3,000 had type 2 diabetes.
Both moderate and vigorous physical activity raises a person's heart and breathing rates. Examples of moderate physical activity include:
Sabag said he and his research team believe their results may be partly explained by the improved cardiometabolic regulation associated with undertaking physical activity during the evening, a theory which is supported by recent clinical studies.
