When is the best time to exercise in summer?

Many people attach great importance to sports and exercise regularly. For us, we must also choose the most suitable time when doing sports, especially in summer. Because the weather is hot, we must pay more attention to the time when doing sports. It will not only affect the effect of exercise, but also prevent heatstroke. So when is the best time to exercise in the summer? Let’s take a look at it below.

In summer, it is best to schedule physical exercise in the morning, afternoon and evening when the temperature is cooler, because these times can avoid heat stroke and sunstroke. As we all know, under normal circumstances, when engaging in physical exercise, although the human body continues to generate heat, under the regulation of the body temperature regulation center, the excess heat in the body is dissipated through radiation, convection, conduction and sweat evaporation, thereby maintaining a relatively stable body temperature. However, when exercising under conditions of high temperature and high humidity, the body's heat dissipation process becomes difficult, so body heat accumulates in large quantities, body temperature rises sharply, and heat stroke occurs.

In mild cases, patients may experience dizziness, headache, palpitations, nausea, etc.; in severe cases, patients often experience cessation of sweating, coma, and unconsciousness. If not treated in time, they are often life-threatening. In addition, long-term exposure to the sun can easily damage the brain and meninges, causing sunstroke similar to heat stroke. In summer, except for the cool morning, noon and evening, the temperature is very high at other times, especially between 11:00 and 16:00. Therefore, you should try to avoid physical exercise during this period.

Through the above introduction, we know when is the best time to exercise in summer. During this period, we can exercise and effectively prevent heat stroke. We must also replenish water appropriately during exercise. In addition, it is best to warm up before exercise.
