Is it better to run in the morning or evening?

Running is one of people's favorite fitness exercises, and it is suitable for running in the streets, alleys, fields and outdoors. This type of exercise not only makes the body stronger, but also helps prevent diseases. Especially for those with weaker constitutions, as long as they persist in running for a period of time, their cardiopulmonary functions will be improved, and their physical fitness and immunity will also be enhanced. So, is it better to run in the morning or in the evening?

From the perspective of sports medicine, running at night is more scientific. As long as you control the intensity of exercise, running at night can help you sleep better. Jiao Wei introduced that slight 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.

Start your evening exercise with a walk. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is best to run and exercise in the evening 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.

It is recommended that you put on a pair of special running shoes when running, because this kind of shoes can make the feet more comfortable, can buffer the pressure received, and can also prevent damage to the joints during running. It is also best to replenish some energy before running. Never replenish energy on an empty stomach or run right after a meal.
