The body appears to be adapting to any circumstance.
Performance is better in the period in which the activity is practiced.
Without a doubt, any exercise at any time of day is better than no exercise. However, there would be advantages in psychological practice in the morning instead of afternoon, or vice versa?

In several studies, scientists found that participants tend to leave a little better in measurements of physical performance - including endurance, strength, reaction time, and aerobic capacity - the afternoon between four and seven in the evening. The explanations are many: the temperature of the body and hormone levels reach a peak in the afternoon, making the muscles more flexible and yielding the best ratio of testosterone (the hormone manufacturer of muscles) and cortisol (the hormone that makes the reverse) .

However, these changes have only small effects. As a person can adapt to agree at the same time every day, studies show that the body can adapt to the time of day that is exercise. In several studies of long-term, for example, scientists arbitrarily divided people into groups and instructed to practice only in the morning or late afternoon. In the end, participants in the morning, in general, obtained better results in tests of physical performance performed early, while the participants in the afternoon is best left in the afternoon testing.

In practice, this means that if you want to run a marathon that begins in the morning, it is best to make your training very early.


Thus, the research suggests that, in general, the ideal time to exercise is late afternoon, and although the benefits are small.
