Research summary
AI-generated

Michael B. Dial studies how circadian rhythms (the body's internal daily clock) and disruptions like social jetlag or sleep deprivation affect exercise performance and the body's physiological adaptations to training, particularly in the heart, muscle, and metabolism. His work combines animal (mouse) models with human studies, including military and firefighter populations, and also examines the accuracy of consumer wearable devices for measuring heart rate and fitness metrics. This research area sits at the intersection of exercise physiology, sleep science, and chronobiology (the study of biological timing).
