Doing sport and especially taking the time to do so is not given to everyone. The best sports coaches do not insist on intensity, but on timing to stay in line.
Despite the varied and often busy schedule that everyone has in their daily lives, there are many times during the day that are more conducive than others to practicing sports. This was demonstrated by a recent study from the science department of Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, which analyzed the best times to do sports and thus avoid gaining weight.
As the authors of the study explain, many people and sports coaches focus on the intensity and duration of physical activity. But few have focused on the pattern of physical activity itself, measured by accelerometer to classify the time of day most suitable for movement and sport. But the best coaches know: doing a little sport on a regular basis and at a set time, even moderately, is still the best way to stay in shape.
New Hampshire researchers concluded that certain times of the day provide better effectiveness for physical activity than others. While evidence is sometimes conflicting about this ideal time, findings suggest that exercising between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. appears to be most conducive to optimal weight management.
If we want to go further, know that morning sport, before a day of work, can bring many benefits such as:
Be aware, however, that there may be other factors that contribute to weight management, such as age, gender, genetics and even location. If morning exercise doesn’t work for some people right now, that doesn’t mean it never will. The main thing is to do physical activity when it is most suitable for you with a routine, rhythm and regular schedule.
