Inspired by watching
episode 5 of the Human Longevity Project we, at Bulletproofbodies dived into
the research about exercise and Circadian Rhythm.
Circadian Rhythm is any
biological process that displays an oscillation of hormonal activity around a
24 time period of day and night.
These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a
circadian clock.
The research listed below has highlighted that you can recover in a more optimal way if you do your High Intensity Training in the EVENING rather than the morning.
RESEARCH:
Interactions of
cortisol, testosterone, and resistance training: influence of circadian
rhythms. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
Effect of
time-of-day-specific strength training on serum hormone concentrations and
isometric strength in men. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
Circadian Rhythms in
Exercise Performance: Implications for Hormonal and Muscular Adaptation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
Effect of
time-of-day-specific strength training on maximum strength and EMG activity of
the leg extensors in men. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
So there you have it.
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) it in the evening.
