Identifying chronotype for the preservation of muscle mass, quality and strength

Chronotype, an individual’s preferred timing of sleep and activity within a 24 h cycle, significantly influences metabolic health, muscle function, and body composition. This review explores the interplay between circadian rhythms, hormonal fluctuations, and behavioral patterns—such as nutrition tim...

This review explores the interplay between circadian rhythms, hormonal fluctuations, and behavioral patterns—such as nutrition timing, physical activity and sleep quality—and their impact on muscle mass, strength, and quality.
