A 6‐month moderate aerobic walking program strengthens circadian rhythms in community‐dwelling older adults: The LEARNit trial
Moderate aerobic walking over 6 months resulted in a greater positive percent change in MESOR, amplitude, and M10 start time compared to the health education group. These results indicate that a moderate aerobic walking program, or exercise, in sedentary older adults can increase circadian strength and shift rhythm timing.
