When is the best time to train muscles?

When people exercise, they also need to find the best time so as not to threaten their health and achieve better exercise results. Nowadays, more and more people are joining the ranks of muscle training, but muscles cannot be trained in a day or two. In addition, the arrangement of exercise time should be reasonable. So when is the best time to train muscles?

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.

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.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about when is the best time to train muscles. There are many ways to exercise muscles, but everyone's physical condition is different, so the amount of exercise arranged each day is also different. This must be done step by step. You cannot put too much stress on your body all at once, as this will damage your health.
