Exercise can promote physical and mental health. When is the best time to exercise? What is the scientific basis?
Exercise can promote physical and mental health. In fact, it is best to exercise at night, around 5 or 6 pm every day. The scientific basis is as follows:

First, the principle of the human biological clock In fact, everyone's body has a biological clock, which is actually the time when the human body needs exercise most. At this time, after a day's work or study, both the mood and physical quality are in a relatively stable state, and the flexibility and adaptability of the body are the best at this time, so this is also the time when the exercise efficiency is the highest.

Therefore, people often choose to go to the gym at the first time after work, because all the indexes of the body are in the best state at this time, and running or exercising is also the most efficient at this time. At this time, exercise is actually the most active moment of hormone secretion in the body, so following the body's biological clock can get twice the result with half the effort.

Second, the hormone level Some scientists have specially tested the hormone secretion of the human body at different time periods. The results show that at 5 or 6 pm, the thyroid stimulating hormone is the highest during exercise, and the hormone secretion level will be higher. For example, exercise at five or six o'clock may be much higher than exercise at eight or nine o'clock, and the level of hormone secretion in the body is also much higher.

For people who exercise to lose weight or keep fit, hormones actually have a good effect on metabolism. Therefore, paying attention to the changes of hormone levels in the body can also help exercise more effectively. It may be more efficient to exercise for an hour at five or six o'clock than two or three hours at night.

Third, the body's temperature The body's temperature is actually a factor that has a great influence on exercise. If the body temperature is high, the effect of exercise will be better. But usually, when you get up in the morning, your body temperature is relatively low, which is not suitable for exercise, but it will reach the highest value in the afternoon and then decrease at night, so when your body temperature reaches the highest value at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, it is the most suitable time for exercise.
