And regardless of which of these goals you are pursuing: Effectively, should the Training in both cases. But how best to manage it?

Athletes and scientists have been discussing for a long time, what could be the role of the time of day at the effectiveness of sports. Evidence for this, however, there is little. Researchers from the Brown Alpert Medical School have now evaluated the results of the survey of 375 people and come to an interesting result: Apparently, it is less time deciding on a training success. The key to success is therefore the fact that those wanting to lose weight align the Training on continuity, so, for example, regularly and at the same time of the day or in the same place to train.

As the researchers in the journal “Obesity,” write on, had removed all of the study participants, and your current body weight successfully can keep. How did you manage that?

Routine stings training time

68 percent of the participants reported to always train at a specific time. This group came in the week more sports units than the comparison group, who put no value on continuity. The individual training courses were also longer, and the Trainees reached more of the weekly guidelines for physical Fitness, as you are from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommended. According to the experts, adults should in the week at least for two and a half hours of moderate move, in order to stay healthy.

Exercisers who make Sport regularly, and could therefore develop with time, your own Routine, and to always train at certain points in time to go. However, the results would suggest that continuity plays an important role when it comes to long-term weight. With other words, the exercisers should try to see your sport for hours as a fixed date. This could help you to stay in the long term, on the Ball and maintain a healthy weight.

300 minutes for the health

However, it is only the Numbers for “adequate” physical activity. In order to improve the health, should be doubled the workload in each case. That’s the equivalent of 300 minutes of exercise with moderate intensity or 150 minutes of intense exercise a week.
