Is exercising at 10 pm good for your health?

There are many benefits of exercise for the human body, and many people are busy during the day and have no time to exercise, so they can only wait until night. After a short rest after eating, you can exercise, but you must choose the appropriate exercise method, and you can't go to sleep after exercise. In short, reasonable exercise can strengthen the body, so is it good to exercise at 10 o'clock at night?

From the perspective of sports medicine, exercising at night is more scientific. As long as you control the intensity of exercise, running at night can help you sleep better. Mild fatigue is a good time to rest. Sports medicine has proven that when you just wake up in the morning, the functioning of the human organs is still at a low level. Exercising at this time is more dangerous for people with weak cardiovascular function. The human body's ability to move is fully developed at night, so when running at this time, the body can more easily adapt to the rhythm of exercise.

In terms of the external environment, the latest research shows that the carbon dioxide index in the air is highest in the early morning, and the dust suspended in the air the day before has not completely disappeared. Exercising at this time is far less good than at night. In addition, the slight fatigue caused by moderate exercise at night needs sweet sleep to relieve it, which greatly improves the quality of sleep after exercise. Therefore, it is unreasonable to worry that exercise will affect sleep.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is best to run at night more than three times a week, each time for 30-60 minutes. The intensity of exercise should be controlled within the range of "pulse rate not exceeding 120 beats/minute after 5 minutes of running, and not exceeding 100 beats/minute after 10 minutes". If your heart rate is too fast, you must reduce the amount of exercise; if you can talk to others while exercising, it means that the exercise intensity is acceptable.

People who have no exercise habit can start with a 20-minute walk every day, 25 minutes in the second week, increase to 30 minutes in the third week, add some jogging in the fourth week, and combine walking and jogging in the fifth week; finally, start to run slowly. All sports require warm-up exercises, and night running is no exception.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about whether it is good to exercise at 10 o'clock at night. Since everyone's lifestyle is different, the exercise time can be adjusted accordingly according to your own schedule. Of course, in addition to morning exercises, taking a walk after dinner or doing some exercise are all good for the health care of the body.
