But more in-depth results showed that morning workouts were more effective for women, whereas men burned more body fat during evening exercise.

Dr Paul Arcerio, lead study author and professor of health and human physiological sciences at Skidmore College in New York, pointed out that even though there has been some proven effect of timely exercises for each sex, it has to fit around the individual’s lifestyle and schedule.

“The best time for exercise is the best time you can do it and fit it into your schedule,” he noted.

He went on to suggest the reasons why the results differed for men and women, with differences in hormones, biological clocks and sleep-wake cycles could all play a role.
