Key result
Evening chronotypes reported a significantly higher rating of perceived exertion during morning walking sessions compared with morning types, without affecting physiological or performance parameters.
Why the study?
Does chronotype influence psychophysiological responses during aerobic self-paced exercises at different times of day?
Population
46 students, mean age 24.8 years, with chronotypes determined by the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire.
Comparison
Self-paced walking session at different times of… vs Responses compared between morning and afternoon…

Evening types may report higher morning exertion; leaves open chronotype-specific exercise timing for adherence or performance.

Does chronotype influence psychophysiological responses during aerobic self-paced exercises at different times of day?
Chronotype and time of day influence the rating of perceived exertion during physical tasks, which may affect test reliability and affective responses to exercise.
Rossi et al. (2015) reported a cross-sectional. Evening chronotype and morning exercise time vs. Morning chronotype and afternoon exercise time was evaluated on Heart rate, walking time, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Evening chronotypes reported a significantly higher rating of perceived exertion during morning walking sessions compared with morning types, without affecting physiological or performance parameters.
