Peak athletic performance timing varies based on chronotype, with late risers peaking approximately 11-12 hours after waking and early/intermediate risers peaking 5-6 hours after waking.

“there was another study showing that performance, athletic performance actually varied depending on when a person wakes up, so whether they're an early riser versus intermediate or late riser. And what I thought was so interesting about that study is that their peak performance was very different. So if it was an early or intermediate riser, your peak athletic performance happened between five or six hours after they wake up. But if they were a late riser, their peak performance was almost 12 hours, it's 11 hours after they basically woke up.”
