    Impact of lifestyle moderate-to-vigorous physical activity timing on glycemic control in sedentary adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic impairments

    Objective: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) improves glucose levels; however, whether its timing affects daily glycemic control remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of lifestyle MVPA timing on daily glycemic control in sedentary adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic impairments. Methods: A total of 186 adults (50% women; age, 46.8 [SD 6.2] years) with overweight/obesity (BMI, 32.9 [SD 3.5] kg/m2) and at least one metabolic impairment participated in this cross-sectional study. MVPA and glucose patterns were simultaneously monitored over a 14-day period using a triaxial accelerometer worn on the nondominant wrist and a continuous glucose-monitoring device, respectively. Each day was classified as “inactive” if no MVPA was accumulated; as “morning,” “afternoon,” or “evening” if >50% of the MVPA minutes for that day were accumulated between 0600 and 1200, 1200 and 1800, or 1800 and 0000 hours, respectively; or as “mixed” if none of the defined time windows accounted for >50% of the MVPA for that day. Results: Accumulating >50% of total MVPA during the evening was associated with lower 24-h (mean difference [95% CI], −1.26 mg/dL [95% CI: −2.2 to −0.4]), diurnal (−1.10 mg/dL [95% CI: −2.0 to −0.2]), and nocturnal mean glucose levels (−2.16 mg/dL [95% CI: −3.5 to −0.8]) compared with being inactive. This association was stronger in those participants with impaired glucose regulation. The pattern of these associations was similar in both men and women. Conclusions: These findings suggest that timing of lifestyle MVPA is significant. Specifically, accumulating more MVPA during the evening appears to have a beneficial effect on glucose homeostasis in sedentary adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic impairments.
