Regular exercise is essential for good health, but can the timing of your physical activity make a difference? Recent research suggests that for individuals dealing with obesity, evening workouts may offer the most benefits, reducing the risk of heart disease and premature death.

Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, made the findings based on a large-scale observational study involving around 30,000 people over almost 8 years. The study was published in the journal Diabetes Care.
