Rest Activity Rhythms and their Association with Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Walking Energetics in Older Adults: Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging.
Abstract
It is recognized that disruptions in circadian behavior, such as with shift work or jet lag, are associated with diminished health. This known relationship implies that people with stronger indices of circadian behavior will exhibit improved physiology. To address the association between rhythmic activity behavior and physiology we proposed that metrics indicative of 'more rhythmic' rest-activity patterns would be associated with better cardiorespiratory fitness and walking energetics in a cohort of older adults.

Research summary
More rhythmic rest-activity patterns are associated with better cardiorespiratory fitness and walking energetics in older adults. The study explores the relationship between circadian rhythms and physiological health, which is pertinent to understanding factors that may influence longevity and overall aging processes.
