It's not the earlier the better, running is most effective at this time in the morning!

Running is the simplest and most effective form of exercise. It not only promotes human health, but also helps lose weight and reduce fat. It is very popular among the public. Some people like to run in the morning, while others run in the evening. So, what is the best time to run in the morning?

Don’t run too early in the morning

If you just get up in the morning, before daybreak, and do not eat or drink water, then running will definitely do harm to your body. This is because all functions of the body are at a low level, and the regulatory function is not very stable. The physiological characteristics determine that it is not suitable for sports. The reasons are roughly as follows:

1. Relatively low physiological function:

When we just wake up in the morning, the cerebral cortex is not yet fully excited, the physiological function is still in a certain state of inhibition, and the functions of various organs of the human body are relatively low. Data show that muscle speed, strength and endurance are at their worst between 3 am and 5 am. The best time to exercise is when the sports physiological function is the best. At this time, physical strength, sensitivity and adaptability are at their peak, heart rate and blood pressure rise most steadily, and physical exercise is most beneficial to health. When the sports function is the worst, it is easy to get tired when exercising, and the probability of sports injuries will also increase.

2. Low body temperature:

Scientific research has found that changes in body temperature will greatly affect the quality and effect of exercise, that is, the higher the body temperature during exercise, the better the effect.

3. Blood is thick and prone to thrombosis:

No water is absorbed during the long night, but water is continuously lost through the skin, mucous membranes, and urine, making the blood viscous in the morning, the flow rate slows down, and the chance of thrombosis increases. On the other hand, during exercise, the muscles need more blood and oxygen, and the viscous blood is not conducive to the blood supply to the muscles.

4. Heavy heart load, unstable regulatory function, and increased risk of sudden death:

Sports medicine experts have found that morning exercise increases heart rate and blood pressure faster than in the afternoon, which puts more stress on the heart and can easily lead to myocardial ischemia, increasing the risk of sudden death during exercise. Researchers at Harvard Medical School in the United States have found that 6 to 9 a.m. is the peak time for heart attacks, so heart disease patients should avoid exercising during this period.
