Summary

This trial aims to see if doing resistance exercise in the morning is better than doing it in the evening for improving insulin sensitivity and sleep. Participants will do exercise at different times of the day in a lab

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 50-74 with a BMI of at least 25 but less than 45, who are generally healthy but not very active. They shouldn't have major health issues like uncontrolled heart or lung diseases, recent cancer treatment, untreated thyroid problems, or a history of eating disorders or weight loss surgery.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if doing resistance exercises in the morning (AM) versus evening (PM) affects insulin sensitivity and sleep differently. Participants will do workouts once in the AM and once in the PM on separate days with weeks apart to see which timing might help reduce Type 2 Diabetes risk more effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, joint pain or injury. However, these are common reactions to new exercise routines and typically subside as the body adapts.
