Key result
Light aerobic cycling exercise performed at different times of day did not change the magnitude of HR and HRV recovery in sedentary men (p < 0.05 for time).
Why the study?
Does the time of day of light aerobic exercise affect heart rate and heart rate variability recovery in sedentary healthy men?
Does the time of day of light aerobic exercise affect heart rate and heart rate variability recovery in sedentary healthy men?
p-value: p=< 0.05
Light aerobic exercise performed at different times of day, including morning and late night, does not adversely delay heart rate or heart rate variability recovery in sedentary healthy men.

Exercise timing does not affect HR/HRV recovery in sedentary men; hypothesis-generating for other populations and intensities.
Prodel et al. (2017) studied Sedentary healthy subjects (n=9). Light aerobic cycling exercise at different times of day (7 a.m., 2 p.m., 11 p.m.) vs. Resting baseline / comparison between times of day was evaluated on Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) recovery (p=< 0.05). Light aerobic cycling exercise performed at different times of day did not change the magnitude of HR and HRV recovery in sedentary men (p < 0.05 for time).
