The question of the best time of day for physical exercise often causes fierce disputes between early larks and late owls. Each group presents its own arguments, supported by information from various sources and its own personal experience. We want to add fuel to the fire and introduce you to the publication of the publication Huffpost.com , which claims that you still need to train in the morning.
Medical research in recent years has taken a different approach to the idea of early physical activity. Some, like, for example, a recent study by the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise says that morning exercises help to cope with hunger and contribute more to weight loss. Others claim that it is the evening circadian rhythms that are most favorable for sports. Nevertheless, it is not entirely true to reduce this issue to pure physiology, since there are a number of social and psychological factors that say that it is necessary to train in the morning.
In the study Brigham Young University , several dozen both normal and obese women were examined. All of them had a decrease in cravings for food on the day starting with the morning workout.
The absolute majority of us have significant social activity in the evening. Visits to cafes, meetings with friends, visits to the theater, communication with loved ones and many other pleasant moments await us in the evenings. You won't tell your beloved: "No, I'm not coming today, I have to run!" :)
If you have planned your workout for the morning, then there is a much better chance that you will actually do it. During the day and in the evening, there may be a million different reasons, excuses, problems that prevent you from doing what you have planned.
When you exercise, physical exertion helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles, organs, and other tissues. And this means that your entire cardiovascular system will work more efficiently, increase your energy and tone.
When a person hastily jumps up, chews a sandwich and rushes to work, his brain may be in a state of inhibition for a long time. They say about it, "they raised it, but they forgot to wake it up." If you start your day with exercise, your brain gets a powerful impulse to wake up, comparable to a cup of good coffee.
And how do you feel about early sports? What arguments can you give against or in their favor? Share your opinion in the comments.
