Is it okay to run in the morning and evening?

Long-term exercise is very good for the human body, and exercising every morning can allow you to experience the freshness of the morning air. It is an aerobic exercise, so running in the morning is more beneficial to the body. But some people also like to run at night, so they can run in the morning and evening. But is it good to run in the morning and evening?

1. What are the benefits of running at night?

1. As long as you control the intensity and time of exercise at night, running at night can help people sleep better.

2. When you just wake up in the morning, the functioning of the human body's organs is still at a low level. Exercising at this time is more dangerous for people with weak cardiovascular function.

3. The human body's ability to move is fully developed at night. When running at this time, the body can more easily adapt to the rhythm of exercise.

4. Studies have shown 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. Exercise at this time is far less good than at night.

5. The slight fatigue caused by moderate exercise at night needs sweet sleep to relieve it, which greatly improves the quality of sleep after exercise.

Note: Do not overdo it

Experts say: It is best to run and exercise at night more than 3 times a week, and 30-60 minutes each time is enough. Especially at night, excessive exercise is not advisable. At night, the yang energy slowly subsides and the yin energy slowly increases, so you need to be mainly quiet. Excessive exercise will indeed affect your sleep. If you exercise excessively and sweat a lot, it will cause the body's immunity to be weakened, weak and prone to illness.

2. Disadvantages of running in the morning

1. Getting up in the morning to exercise is not good for the elderly or people with poor heart function. Medical statistics show that early morning is not only the peak time for heart attacks, but also the time when sudden death is most common, with an incidence rate of 61.3%.

2. Shiota, associate professor of sports physiology at Yamaguchi University in Japan, pointed out that jogging in the early morning will put a lot of pressure on the heart, because the heart is usually unable to adapt to full exercise early in the morning. Yantian also said that jogging stimulates the secretion of a large amount of hormones in the human body, which speeds up the heart rate. The results of his experiments on a number of college students showed that the amount of adrenaline secreted by people jogging in the early morning is 2 to 4 times higher than the hormone secretion stimulated by jogging in the afternoon or evening.

3. Best time for exercise: afternoon

In fact, exercise does not necessarily require a large block of time. You can also take time to exercise during the day. Among them, 2 to 4 pm is the best. This is because the human body's athletic ability reaches its peak between 2 and 4 p.m. At this time, the sun is abundant, the temperature is suitable, and the wind is light, making it the best time to exercise.
