Should not run exercise early in the morning?

Contrary to what most of us think, early morning is not the best time to run exercise, according to a new study.

>>>The best time to exercise

Researchers at the University of Birmingham (UK) discovered, whether any of us are early sleepers, get up early or stay up late, wake up late at least until noon the next day, our exercise runs can reach the best. In other words, instead of setting the clock at 5:30 - 6:00 every morning to get up and running before going to work, you should continue to sleep and exercise at a later time of the day.

The conclusion was drawn after the team conducted tests for 20 professional athletes, including hockey players. Athletes to undergo a health test 6 times, between 7 am and 10 pm.

Doing morning excercises

The team also asked athletes, both male and female, to fill out a detailed survey, designed to identify who belongs to the group of birds (early sleep, get up early) and who belongs to the owl group. night (staying up late, getting up late).

They discovered that the group of birds had the best test results around noon. Night owl groups "peak" just before 8 pm, and the middle group (not too late and not too early) has the highest test results at around 4 pm.

The choice of time is especially important for people in the night owl group, with 26% of them achieving worse results if forced to exercise early in the morning. However, the exercise of the birds in the cheetah group did not "peak" in the early morning, although they seemed to be more alert, according to research reports in Cell magazine.

Researcher Roland Brandstaetter claims, the results show the importance of listening to your biological clock, instead of an alarm clock . He explained: "The body's biological clock has a great effect, because every cell in the body has a clock. There are many clocks in the brain and internal organs like the heart, liver. . and your physiological functions are under the control of these watches. Everything happens on a day-night basis. "

Mr. Brandstaetter added that a simple way to determine if you are a bird or night owl is to see how much you lose to fully awake . People in the group of turkeys are awake only within 30 minutes after getting up, while people in the night owl group may take 5-6 hours after waking to feel sleepy.

New discoveries are also very useful for athletes, since only 1% of performance differences can make a difference in the chances of winning a gold medal or losing.
