Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Karyn Esser from the University of Florida, USA. She is an authority on circadian biology. We discuss whether exercise affects muscle circadian clocks and whether muscle clocks affect exercise. What is the best time to exercise and to eat etc. Also the effects of jet lag and shift work and how to best manage these. A very interesting chat. Karyn’s Twitter: @kaesser.

Inside Exercise brings to you the who’s who of research in exercise metabolism, exercise physiology and exercise’s effects on health. With scientific rigor, these researchers discuss popular exercise topics while providing practical strategies for all.
The interviewer, Emeritus Professor Glenn McConell, has an international research profile following 30 years of Exercise Metabolism research experience while at The University of Melbourne, Ball State University, Monash University, the University of Copenhagen and Victoria University.
He has published over 120 peer reviewed journal articles and recently edited an Exercise Metabolism eBook written by world experts on 17 different topics (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-94305-9).

These are inherited anticipatory autonomic responses of living things to a planet that has rotated on its axis in this solar system for as long as living things, single- and multicellular sentient beings, have been reproducing (3 or so billion years)?
Many many thanks for your interview with Dr. Esser. I've only recently discovered your channel, and I found this wonderfully insightful. I particularly appreciate being able to hear the perspectives from those in the thick of the research fray.
Her responses and the way she was a stickler for terminology was very refreshing. Quite the impressive background, and I like how, many researchers do, she stumbled into the space that she's so adept at now.
I'm also glad that at the end you inquired as to what might be controversies in the field, and how a CNS oriented researcher might view the CNS as the main mediator more so than a peripheral researcher, who might themselves describe the periphery as the main mediator. What a wonderful amalgamation of research, history and personality.
Thank you very much! Powerful information and forum.
