A recurring question among those who like to do some physical activity is, what time is the best time to exercise?, which has been answered by a study from the University of Granada.
At what time is it advisable to exercise?
According to research, time has no effect on cardiovascular health in adults, although further research is needed to have consolidated data.
“The time of day in which exercise is carried out does not influence the immediate effect that it exerts on blood pressure and blood glucose,” he points out in an institution statement.
The aforementioned university explains that the cells of the human body have a molecular clock that controls metabolic processes and that it is in constant interaction with external stimuli and this can alter it.
Thus, modern lifestyle patterns, such as having disturbed sleep rhythms, not getting enough sleep, working and/or eating at irregular hours, or being exposed to artificial light, contribute to the appearance of cardiovascular diseases.
Exercise is a protective factor once morest these diseases, and recent studies suggest that the time of day it is practiced may influence its effects on health.
However, the research carried out by the University of Granada concluded that the time of day when physical activity is carried out does not influence the immediate effect of exercise on blood pressure and blood glucose.
“Exercise has a short-term blood pressure-lowering effect both in the morning and in the followingnoon,” explained the lead author of the study, Raquel Sevilla Lorente, a researcher at the “José Mataix Verdú” Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology ( INYTA) of the UGR.
“Also, exercise causes an increase in blood glucose regardless of the time of day. This immediate rise in glucose seems to be higher in the morning when it comes to people with diabetes mellitus (exercising at this time might be less advisable for them), although it has not been possible to confirm statistically, ”he added.
