Exercise Timing in Sport: Molecular and Physiological Mechanisms Linking Performance, Recovery, and Biological Cost

2026-04-20

Abstract excerpt

Time of day is often treated as a scheduling constraint rather than a true programming variable, yet training time is not neutral and can modulate both performance expression and the biological cost of exercise. This structured narrative review synthesizes evidence on morning versus afternoon/evening training in athletes and physically active adults, integrating performance outcomes with internal load, autonomic r...
