Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic search of studies was conducted using PubMed andWeb of Science from inception to June 2022. Selected studies accomplished the following criteria: crossover design, acute effect of exercise, blood pressure, blood glucose, and/or blood lipids as the study's endpoint, awashout period of at least 24 h, and adults.Meta-analysis was performed by analyzing: 1) separated effect of morning and evening exercise (pre vs. post); and 2) comparison between morning and evening exercise. Results: A total of 11 studies were included for systolic and diastolic blood pressure and 10 studies for blood glucose. Meta-analysis revealed no significant difference between morning vs. evening exercise for systolic blood pressure (g Δ=0.02), diastolic blood pressure (g Δ=0.01), or blood glucose (g Δ=0.15). Analysis of moderator variables (age, BMI, sex, health status, intensity and duration of exercise, and hour within the morning or evening) showed no significant morning vs. evening effect. Conclusions: Overall, we found no influence of the time of the day on the acute effect of exercise on blood pressure neither on blood glucose.}, organization = {Spanish Government FPU19/03745}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Blood glucose}, keywords = {Blood pressure}, keywords = {Cardiovascular diseases}, keywords = {Circadian clock}, keywords = {Exercise}, keywords = {Adults}, title = {Time of the day of exercise impact on cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis}, doi = {10.1016/j.jsams.2023.03.004}, author = {Sevilla Lorente, R. and Carneiro Barrera, Almudena and Molina García, Pablo and Ruiz, J.R and Amaro Gahete, Francisco José}, }
