Timing of resistance exercise for weight management
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if doing resistance exercises (like lifting weights) in the morning or afternoon is better for weight management. You may qualify if you are between 50 and 74 years old, are overweight but generally healthy, and have not been very active with strength training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
