The effects of exercise vary slightly depending on the time of day it is performed.

 

Exercising in the morning makes me feel refreshed.

 

This is because a hormone called adrenaline is secreted well, especially during early morning exercise, which stimulates its secretion vigorously. However, excessive morning exercise can be counterproductive. In the morning, muscle and joint mobility are reduced, and the activity level of enzymes involved in energy metabolism is lowered. It is important to perform a proper warm-up for at least 10 minutes before engaging in full-scale exercise.

 

Evening exercise is effective for workout efficiency and boosting immunity.

 

According to a study by the University of Chicago in the United States, exercising in the evening after 7 PM enhances workout efficiency. This is because adrenal cortex hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormones are rapidly secreted through exercise around 7 PM. It increases metabolism and raises the body's alertness, thereby improving exercise efficiency. Exercising moderately in the evening can also promote the secretion of melatonin and growth hormones in the brain during sleep.

 

Meanwhile, for blood sugar management, it is better to do it after meals rather than before, regardless of the time of day.

 

To lower blood sugar two hours after a meal, exercising one hour after eating is effective. However, for people at risk of hypoglycemia, it is safer to start exercising immediately 30 minutes after a meal. Starting exercise two hours after eating is already late, as blood sugar levels are likely to have risen significantly, making it less effective in preventing vascular complications caused by frequent high blood sugar.
