Thank you Zoe for just getting right to the answer straight away in the video, rather than the tacky cutting the intro up and hiding the answer somewhere in the video. I'll watch regardless, so thank you for editing this way (and I do it for my videos too - best to just jump straight into it) - thank you once again.
As an active septuagenarian who exercises and walks daily, I suspect the afternoon strength peak does not apply to the over 65s. If I have anything that needs to be done, it has to be done before lunch. Afternoons are reserved for relaxing and snoozing
I wonder now about 2 peaks, morning big one, smaller one late afternoon or early evening? Certainly fits the pattern I fell into when I retired, especially in summer.
I am here in the desert heat of Arizona and split my day into early morning and late afternoon. The time in the middle is leisure or errands. I do yoga and tai chi .I go to the gym swim , weights , sauna and jacuzzi. I’m 70 and seem to have plenty of energy. I do take an occasional nap from time to time if I have over done myself. Thanks for the video and information.
I am 71 and I have always been stronger in the evening . I go to the gym at about 4:30 to 7-8 pm. I have always wondered why , but , my experiences agree with her. Still don t know why. i would have presumed that , you would be the stongest , when you wake up, since you have been sleeping thru the night. great vid !
@@TheEsquire88 I suspect it depends on whether you are a morning or evening person. I have always been an early riser and the most creative before lunchtime. Other people, I know are at the other end of the time/activity spectrum. The bottom line is, if it works for you, go with it👍👍
@@TheEsquire88Same, I am 71 still compete in powerlifting competitions and it’s a fact you are stronger in the afternoon but now that I am retired train in the morning because can’t wait all day before I do my training.
I've recently split my day's workouts into two sessions. Morning and evening. The total time spent had only been increased by the extra time spent warming up for the second session. My recovery send to have definitely improved.
I have realised that I am strongest between 2 and 4pm. I am 62 and back at the gym after a looong break and I'm making great gains. So this is true for me. Interesting video 🤔❤
Same here. When I was working I always trained in the evenings. Now 67 and when I retired at 65 I thought great, I can train at 9am, which was 2hrs after getting up. Just couldn't get going, felt sluggish both for gym sessions and running. After a bit experimentation, I found 2 - 4 best, maybe plus or minus a little, so say 1.30 - 4.30. Could be body clock or maybe because I've 'fuelled up' with what I've eaten in the earlier part of the day. I go to bed 10.30/11.00pm and rise 7.00/7.30am.
I prefer my strength and hardest workouts (for both intensity and duration) in the afternoon but also love to do some exercise, like cardio and HIIT, in the morning to increase wakefulness and energy in the morning before work.
Would be interesting to know the amount of variation. 0.5% or 10%. Being an old person, I can say mornings is better for excercise for me and I’m guessing for others.
I have trained my whole life. Over 30 years. I am only speaking from my own experience. But I never felt good training in the morning. I always strength trained in the afternoon or evening. Just felt better.
I am 55 and usually perform bench press in the afternoon when I can. I have noticed that is when I am strongest. I generally hit my targets easier when working out between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. On other movements and workout times, I prefer evenings. Last choice is mornings for me.
I don't need a clinical trial to tell me this. No way I can go to the gym in the morning. 1pm is about the earliest I could ever consider going to the gym. I consider hard workouts in the morning akin to thrashing an engine from cold. Start gently, let it warm up, and let the oil circulate.
She's assuming that everyone has the same circadian rhythm. I'm 74 years old. For me, I'm up at 4:00am. I'm out of the house by 5:00 and at the gym. From 7:00 on, I'm doing some type of manual labor (around the house) until about noon or 1:00 and then I'm exhausted. I lunch and I basically rest. I don't have any strength @ 5:00.
Maybe I'm the odd person in the crowd but I find my strength of the early morning hours. I am more rested and can accomplish a better workout. It's a very good way to start the day and I actually feel great the rest of the day. Sorry but I have to disagree with you !
Hi Zoe. Did you ever think about checking if your shaking of the head may have a hidden medical issue? Somehow I had this déjà vu feeling-an acquaintance of mine had the same unconscious moving of the head and she was diagnosed with Parkingson. Also you do look tired and nervous in this program. Hope life treats you well and you may have good health both physical and mental.
Im stronger between 9 and 11am. Forget the afternoon. I'm tripping over my feet by 4pm but my brain is working really well and i can get a lot of creative work done between 3pm and 7pm
During the opening statement, she points out that time plays a role, and they found that males and females are stronger in the afternoon. Two questions: did researchers check this during daylight savings time, or did they check this also during winter? My reasoning is this: in ancient times, in the afternoon, there may have been a rush before the invention of clocks for everyone to pull all the resources together for the evening's meal. Maybe that's the reason why we're stronger because we're hurrying to make sure when we're not preparing or eating in the dark.
Often that's dehydration. People tend to drink more water in the 1st half of the day. I have a degree in exercise science, my advice to my clients who suffer cramps during the night is to drink a glass of water before bed. Results are very positive according to same clients.
The reason you're stronger in the afternoon is because we're living in a fractal universe. The human body is a microcosm and is regulated by various natural laws that also exist on the macrocosmic level. The afternoon is a microcosm of summer, the season when solar energy is at its highest. The evening is time to start slowing down like autumn. The night is winter when solar energy is at its lowest, and spring occurs in your body in the morning. On the macro cosmic level this is when nature is waking up after the winter. As humans our arrogance towards nature blinds us to this natural fractal rhythm. We're as much a part of nature as plants, animals, weather, seasons, etc. By looking and copying what's happening on a macro level allows us to adhere to natural laws. As above, so below.
As a very active octogenarian I can definitely say I don’t believe ya I have always trained very early in the morning and have much more energy at that time. Just go to a parkrun and see the boundless energy at 9 o'clock I the morning.
Is this also true for people who don't wake up at 6-8 am? For example for people who wake up at 2 pm? I know this has been observed in for example strength sports competitors who fare better in the afternoon than in the morning, but does it correlate to your daily rhythm and x hours from waking up or just about the time of day? Does it correlate with nutrition timing, for example is it consistent no matter if you eat breakfast or lunch in certain way or skip either? It sounded to me like we're actually not the strongest in the afternoon but we just generally tend to teach the muscles to be most effective in the afternoon.
It wouldn't surprise me if there are benefits to exercising outside the strength window too. I'm a relative-strength athlete, which means my bodyweight is the determiner of how challenging the exercise is. On days when I'm heavier, while I can't "perform as well" (maybe I can't do as many pullups, for example, because I weigh more), I am training myself better because it's harder. So then when I'm lighter I can do even more than if I had never been heavier. By still working out on my heavier days, it benefits me overall. If you don't are about relative strength, it might not matter, but for people like rock climbers, gymnasts, etc., it's helpful to disadvantage yourself sometimes.
My guess is that exercise is useful at all time of day once you have done a good warm up. Infact its continuation of movement that key to good vascular health and probably muscular skeletol health
Interesting, it doesn’t seem like the good professor does much deadlifting or military presses, but I guess we’ll can take her word for it. I am fairly physically active, and I honestly I don’t see much difference in my strength throughout the day assuming I’m not fatigued. If the difference is 5% or less, I doubt people will notice much difference.
Haven’t we always instinctively known this? Many sports matches are staged in the mid-afternoon, so could there be some core instinctive understanding behind this?
Interesting it’s so late in afternoon. One would have thought it might be around midday. Guess if its around 5pm its useful for those getting the shopping in after work
I’m probably the odd one out. Ive never been a morning person and so I prefer to go to the gym at 15:00. Also the gym is fairly quiet so I can get to all the equipment. I do 15 mins or so of cardio and one and a half hours of weight training and stretching . Then I go to the jacuzzi and steam room. By the time Im home I’m ready to make dinner and relax. I’m 70 .
very intersting - I read this some time ago, there's an article Time of Day and Muscle Strength: A Circadian Output? Collin M. Douglas I always try to work out in the afternoon, but it's a choice between a nap or a workout some days. Walking for me is mornings, gym is afternoon (early or late)
I'm sorry, I just don't see her in the gym doing research, taking measurements. I see her looking at someone else's data and trying to make conclusions.

Why be a woman-hating troll? If your idea of health or beauty is skin deep and superficial, you need to take a look at your soul and reflect on how cringey your words are about others. Hating on the looks of women with attacks on appearance especially wh er n there is no justification kind of sounds like something a Nick Fuentes fan or Trump supporter would say.

First thing in the morning after coffee. Rest of the day free. 😊 after warm up you are strong.
Thats my take too, train first thing not later.

And what is the best moment for cardio or aerobic exercise?
Also the afternoon?
This video confirms what I feel and thank you for that. Perhaps it is related to metabolism has its peak in the afternoon?

if i go for a run or do cardio at night i can't sleep at night till maybe 2 am
At 3 PM, there is a human growth hormone HGH peak. There’s also a tendency to get drowsy, and I believe it’s the traditional English tea time.
Just got back from the gym so this is encouraging information 💪🏻😎

This research is very interesting, I wonder what causes cramp in the muscles more at night during repair time.
Lack of magnesium?
Often that's dehydration.
People tend to drink more water in the 1st half of the day.

frequency is more important than when.
for building muscle, it needs frequency with triggering loads not which time.

9:06 In other words, it doesn’t matter when we exercise, but it’s best not to change the time constantly.
If I waited for afternoon to exercise I'd never do it
My body clock says early b4 life takes over 🌹😊
I think you can train your body clock

The best exercise is exercise that has inten like waking the dog or diting the car and waking to work in using pubic transport etc
If I work out at 1. Siesta time my lifting is rubbish. If it's after 5 it's great but it disrupts my sleep.
Currently watching the olympics I think this could be very interesting for elite athletes training for events in the morning

Time of Day and Muscle Strength: A Circadian Output?

I always try to work out in the afternoon, but it's a choice between a nap or a workout some days. Walking for me is mornings, gym is afternoon (early or late)
My caffiene and nicotine levels are highest about then, so yeah
15-00 seems to work for me.
Is this a surprise? I remember being taught that the majority of human performance records are set at this time of day over 25 yrs ago,
There are far too many variables to reach the conclusion that training is strongest in the afternoon. Some days it is and some days it isn’t.
❤
Solar Radiation
I'm a morning person.
We are stronger in the afternoon because that is when we were dragging the mammoth back to the cave.
Glycogen maxed out. Nervous system maxed out. Not super big insight here. Good to study it i suppose. This also won’t apply to all. .
Your stronger in the afternoon because your muscles have recovered from the fasted sleep state and are loaded with glycogen.
Does anyone think that this is real and matters?
Not true
