Charles A. of Brigham and Women's Hospital of Harvard Medical School in the United States. Chaizler is a sleep specialist.
He usually advises professional players to ensure adequate sleep. So that they can present their highest performance on the field.
According to this expert, “One is most active in the late afternoon or early evening. It is at this time that man becomes most alert, alert, strong, attentive.”
Exemplifying this idea, Chaizler said in a report published on the health website 'itthis.com', “Most 'Olympic records' have been set in sports that have been held in the afternoon or evening. Because at that time there is a strong flow of energy in the human body."

After the participants started exercising, those who exercised in the morning did not see any significant changes in their cholesterol levels. But for those who were exercising in the evening, it was a different story.
"After just five days of exercise, as their cholesterol levels dropped, so did the blood's risk factors for heart disease. How the blood sugar levels of the group members who exercised in the evening had better control when sleeping at night compared to the other two groups.”
Researchers say they still don't know exactly why exercising in the evening is more beneficial than other times. In real life, most people's eating habits can be considered unhealthy. So exercise in the evening is most beneficial to mitigate the effects of that lifestyle.
