When is the best time of the day to exercise?

From Sunday Morning, 9:38 am on 14 February 2021

Is there an optimum time in the day for us to exercise? The answer is yes if you are a man who is at high risk for Type 2 diabetes. A new study out of the Netherlands, which looked at men at high risk for Type 2 diabetes, compared the metabolic effects exercise elicits in the afternoon compared to the morning, with the results adding fuel to the theory that when we exercise may alter how we benefit from that exercise. Study co-author Joris Hoeks joins the show to explain.
