People who train regularly does it when his activities allow it, but a new study reveals that doing it at a certain time of day could generate better results.
According to a study by the Center for Research and Education, ASPETAR, Qatar Orthopedic Sports Medicine Hospital. The body temperature peaks in the afternoon and early morning at night, between 04. and the 18. hours.
The above means that muscles and enzymes perform at their best during that period of the day, as well as oxygen consumption and reaction time. Blood pressure and heart rate are also at their lowest during this period.
“In a neutral environment, muscle contractility increases from morning to afternoon. Consequently, the muscle strength and even short-duration performance are better in the afternoon than in the morning”, the investigation reads.
Exercise in the morning, afternoon or night?
In addition to the arguments in around body temperature, there are others to decide if this activity is done in the morning or in the afternoon .
The argument in favor of exercising in the morning is that
you’re more likely to do it before other responsibilities of the day get in your way. What’s more, exercising in the morning can also lead you to make healthier food choices, according to a study published by the International Journal of Obesity.
Doing exercise in the afternoon is best for strength and endurance exercises. This is because we work harder later in the day because our glucose levels are higher, allowing us to use more energy. Exercising in the afternoon or evening burns more calories.
