Biografi

Physical exercise and diet have both individual and synergistic effects on metabolism, including alterations in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, the timing of a meal or exercise bout can optimize metabolic health. Therefore, there is a burgeoning appreciation of circadian rhythmicity in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue, as well as exercise and nutrition acting as zeitgebers of circadian rhythmicity. The precise interactions between endogenous rhythms, external zeitgebers and their health promoting effects remains to be fully elucidated.
