Association between timing and consistency of physical activity and type 2 diabetes: a cohort study on participants of the UK Biobank

Conclusions/interpretationTotal metabolic equivalents of physical activity in the morning and afternoon had a protective effect on diabetes risk and evening activity was not associated with diabetes. Consistency of physical activity did not play a role in decreasing risk for diabetes. Vigorous activity is associated with lower risk no matter the time of day of activity.Graphical Abstract
