When is the best time to train muscles?

As the saying goes, exercise is the source of life, which is enough to show the benefits of exercise to the human body. Nowadays, many people exercise every day in order to have developed muscles, but it does not mean that muscles can be developed as long as a certain amount of exercise is achieved every day. It is still necessary to choose the best time to exercise, which will not affect your health and can achieve better results. So when is the best time to exercise muscles?

Scientists from NASA have confirmed that muscles that are no longer exercised will degenerate at an alarming rate. If a person does not exercise for three days, the maximum strength of his muscles will disappear by 1/3; the muscles that have been exercised must be exercised again within 48-72 hours in order to build up the required physical effect. That is to say, the good effects of promoting human metabolism can only last for 2-3 days at most. If it exceeds this period, the human body's functions will be greatly reduced. It can be seen from this that exercising 3-4 times a week, 30-60 minutes each time, can achieve the goal.

Soviet physiologists measured the changes in leg strength of 18-28 year old weightlifters during vertical jump and arm strength during bench press and proved that muscle strength changes at any time of the day, but the peak of muscle contraction force occurs between 11-14 o'clock and 19-21 o'clock. The change in upper limb strength was 10%, and the change in lower limb strength was 30%. Many foreign scientists have also revealed that the human body's functions change greatly during a day and night. At 8-12 o'clock and 14-17 o'clock every day, the muscle speed, strength and endurance are relatively at their best; at 3-5 o'clock and 12-14 o'clock, the muscle speed, strength and endurance are relatively at their lowest.

It can be seen from this that scheduling exercise time when muscles are in the best functional state will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Young people can arrange exercise time during the afternoon extracurricular activities time, which is 4-5 pm. At this time, the muscles are in optimal function, which helps to improve the muscles' load capacity and exercise ability, inhibit the intellectual center and excite the motor center, thereby achieving the purpose of active rest.

The above article clearly introduces when is the best time to train muscles. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In fact, this question is easy to understand. Just like our daily exercise, it is not possible to exercise at any time of the day. The wisest choice is to exercise in accordance with your own schedule and without harming your body.
