When is running most effective?

As people now pay more and more attention to their physical health, more and more people like running. Every day at unknown times, I always see some friends running slowly in the park or on the roads with less traffic. The largest group of people are office workers, because they need to take good care of their health. So, do you want to know when is the most effective time to run?

1. "Morning air is the freshest and good for running" - afternoon air is the best!

According to the Department of Health, the best time of the day for air quality is around 1 p.m. During this time, sunlight is strongest, the ground temperature is high, air convection is vigorous, and wind speed increases, which can disperse pollutants on the ground.

When the sun rises in the morning, the ground temperature is still low and the temperature in the upper layer is high. In the evening, the heat energy of the ground quickly cools down to the sky and the temperature in the sky drops more slowly. Both situations will cause radiation reversal near the surface. The exhaust gas from chimneys and vehicles cannot rise and spread, causing the air pollution to increase sharply. If you go for a morning run at this time, the air you breathe is not clean!

2. "Running at noon is energetic" - running at noon is not energetic!

You must be careful when running at noon. Improper exercise will not only affect your mental state, but also your body. The first is lunch. Don’t go to the gym after lunch. If you have a gym plan today, you can eat some snacks half an hour in advance, such as a slice of whole wheat bread or a handful of nuts or almonds, so that the body has enough energy to function. In addition, if you have to continue working in the afternoon, remember not to do too much strenuous strength training, and be careful not to exceed the time limit for aerobic exercise. Otherwise, the afternoon sleepiness will keep you coming back.

3. "Exercise before bed is good" - It has nothing to do with the effect, it just makes you more restful

Many people say that exercising at night is most effective, and the weight loss the next day is always so obvious. In fact, everyone selectively ignores the fact that they have “no food intake” for the entire night. Even if they do not exercise, they will still lose weight when they weigh themselves the next morning. The effect of exercising at night is not much different from that at other times, except that the body can get a better rest after exercise, and the muscle groups torn during exercise can be better repaired.

In fact, for office workers, there are only two times for running: morning and evening. Running at these two times has great benefits for the human body. This depends on your physical condition and the time in your life when you have time. So everyone should think about whether you are running to lose weight or to make your body healthier, and then think about when is the best time to go running.
