Scientists from the University of Manchester found that exercising at the same time of day provides the biggest benefits to bone and joint health. The research was published in the journal Nature Communication.
Body temperature, blood pressure and other indicators of the body’s functioning change throughout the day. Disturbances in circadian rhythms are associated with an increased risk of several diseases. Research shows that fat cells have their own biological clock, and the cardiovascular system’s own rhythm may explain the prevalence of morning heart attacks.
In a new study, scientists found that intervertebral discs and cartilage tissues are also subject to daily cycles. They found that physical activity in the morning stimulates the light-sensitive centers of the brain, signaling the body that it’s time to wake up. If a person constantly trains at different times, there is a mismatch between the daily cycles of the brain and the musculoskeletal system, which can potentially harm health. An experiment in mice showed that unpredictable activity contributes to the breakdown of bones and cartilage.
Scientists believe their results are valid for humans, but only human studies can prove this. Additionally, physical activity has been shown to improve musculoskeletal health, reduce arthritis pain, and slow bone loss in older adults, thereby reducing the risk of fractures. It is possible that exercising simultaneously may provide additional benefits to people with arthritis.
