Could Being a Night Owl or Early Bird Affect Muscle Strength?
Do you wake with the larks or stay up with the owls? According to a recent review, understanding your chronotype might help you maximize your gains when training and stay healthier as you age.
The authors hope that their findings, published in Nutrients, could help people design personalized routines to suit their biological clocks, making them more sustainable and successful.
“Taking chronotype into account can help to better tailor health recommendations and make them more sustainable over time, especially in programs for weight loss, muscle loss prevention, and the promotion of healthy aging,” explained Núria Vilarrasa, MD, professor at the University of Barcelona’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in Spain, in a press release.
