What time of day is the best for training? Morning, afternoon, evening? Does it even matter?
In factany time of the day is good for training.The most important thing is regularity. Much will also depend on the individual biological clock. Some people feel good about doing their sessions early in the morning. It gives them energy for the rest of the day. During training, endorphins are released, which will put you in a good mood. The second group of people are people who prefer evening training. After morning hours they are sleepy and tired all day long. In the evening, however, they feel optimal. After a hard training, they can also only rest, not to worry about their duties.
Scientists investigating this issue found that morning is the best time to exercise for people on a diet.The metabolismplays a key role here, and is forced to shift to a higher gear. This state of affairs will last from a few to several hours after the end of the session. The question of whether the morning training should take place on an empty stomach or after a meal is also highly individual. Fasting sessions will burn more body fat, but will be more exhausting and put your muscle mass at risk. Eating too much, in turn, will burden the body and prevent physical activity.
People who want to build muscle mass should train in the early afternoon hours. Research shows that this is when the muscles are strongest, the body is fully awake and the metabolism is working, but we are not tired of activities performed during the day.Heavy workouts in the evening just before going to sleep will be a bad idea.Intervals will not fulfill their function, because after falling asleep, the metabolic rate slows down. Strength training, on the other hand, can make it hard to fall asleep. In summary, the most important thing is the body's biological clock and when we feel best during exercise. From the scientific point of view, the time of exercise is important for professional athletes, for other people it is more important to be regular.
