What time is good to exercise at night?

In order to make your body healthier, it is very important to adjust your work and rest schedule and plan your daily life, especially exercise. Although you don’t have time to exercise during the day due to work, you still need to make up for it at night. Proper exercise has many benefits to the body. So what time is good to exercise at night?

A research report published by the Clinical Research Center of the University of Chicago on the 20th said that the human body's biological clock plays a more important role in the body's response to exercise than previously thought. The results could change people's morning exercise habits.

The research center conducted a study on 40 men aged 30 to 40 to study the body's (hormone levels) response to exercise at different times of the day. The results showed that hormones, key substances in human metabolism, responded most strongly to physical exercise in the evening and at night.

"During the night or evening, there is a dramatic rise in levels of cortisol, which is associated with fat metabolism, and thyroid-stimulating hormone, which is associated with muscle repair," said the University of Chicago researchers.

For example, researchers said that blood tests taken after an hour of intense treadmill exercise in the morning showed that hormone levels were comparable to those during the same period of time when resting in bed. After doing the same exercise between 7pm and 2am the next day, hormone levels were much higher than at other time periods. This suggests that the body's hormonal response to exercise at different times is controlled by the biological clock or physiological rhythm.

The researchers said: "It is too early to conclude that exercising at one time is better than another, but we were surprised that the hormonal response to exercise was related to the time of day." "The biological clock seems to play an important role in the body's response to exercise." Previously, experts generally believed that morning was the best time to exercise for weight loss, but this research result may change this view, and it is believed that it is more appropriate to exercise in the evening.

The above article gives a clear introduction to what time is best to exercise at night. I believe everyone has a clear idea of ​​it. In fact, no matter what time period you exercise, as long as it suits your own health condition and does not affect your normal rest and sleep, it can have a good health care effect.
