In the study, participants were encouraged to space these sessions at least an hour apart, with some exercise bouts performed around 30 to 60 minutes after major meals.
The science behind this approach is also interesting.
When muscles contract during physical activity, they can take up glucose from the bloodstream to use as energy.
This process can help reduce the rise in blood sugar that typically follows a meal.
