Human activities are controlled by the "biological clock", and the body's own temperature also follows the rule of "low in the morning and high in the afternoon".

It is easy to get excited and easier to enter a state of exercise. If you exercise in the morning or before 9:00 am, the temperature is relatively low and the damage to the human body is mainly caused by local frostbite and hypothermia of the whole body. When exercising for a long time in a cold environment (such as long-distance running), excessive body temperature loss may cause dizziness, decreased coordination, unsteady gait, etc.
