Rest Activity Rhythms and Their Association with Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Walking Energetics in Older Adults: Study of Muscle, Mobility, and Aging
More rhythmic activity behavior and earlier time of peak activity were associated with better cardiorespiratory fitness and walking energetics. These findings support the framework that rhythmic activity supports healthy physiology. Further investigations are warranted to determine if declines in rhythmicity of human behavior are predictive of disease.
