Physical exercise in the afternoon has an ‘advantage’ that you may not know

The Regular exercise of exercise is considered a health promoter and seems to be one of the most important factors that contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases. However, the possible effects have not yet been fully clarified according to the time of the day it is done.

Numerous Studies compared the training in the afternoon and in the morningDetermining that the muscles had a higher performance in the afternoon. But other studies have suggested that a larger metabolic response to physical activities was done during the evening. The truth is that everything is still said in this respect.

The exercise in the afternoon can be cheaper

A study led by the Biomedical Research Institute of Malaga (Ibima) has shown that practice in the afternoon It can be cheaper to maintain healthy glucose levels. The results published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition Open new possibilities to prevent and treat diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

The interaction between chronobiology and glucose or sugar metabolism suggests that the moment of day influences how the body processes and uses glucose, which has important implications For metabolic health and prevention of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Depending on time, the exercise is

The research was conducted with 23 healthy participants who kept sports sessionsYouCIO in the morning and afternoon. Francisco Tinahones, a researcher at Ibima and one of the authors of the work, explains that The results showed that the type of exercise and the time of the day it is made have a significant impact In how the body regulates blood sugar levels.

While the excercise Aerobe has a more moderate effectAnaerobic causes greater changes in glucose values ​​in the short term. Also perform excercise In the afternoon it seems to be cheaper, possibly due to variations in insulin sensitivity and the use of glucose according to circadian rhythms.

Consider both the type excercise Since the time of the day can be important factors for the design of strategies of Personalized medicine for prevention and management of metabolic diseases As type 2 diabetes, according to Mora Murri, researcher at the Carlos III Health Institute.

To lose weight, the ‘best’ is the morning exercise

Previous studies had already supported that the excercise evening or nightly can be more effective than excercise morning before Improve metabolic parameters such as glycemic controlBlood pressure or lipid profile.

On the other hand, other works have discovered that the Morning training can be cheaper in weight loss. According to the authors, these differences can be related to changes in energy balance and appetite regulation.

Despite these promising results, The research team emphasizes that clinical examinations are needed on a large scale and long -term to confirm these observations.

The work has also collaborated on Virgen de la Victoria University Clinical Hospital, the University of Malaga of the field of physical and sporting education, and the Biomedical Research Center in Network (Ciber): Pathofysiology of Obesity and Nutrition (Obn) and Cibervascular Health, both connected to the Cibervasculary) (Isciii).
