A new study of nearly 6,000 people has shown that the latest night -night exercise window that affects night’s sleep is actually longer than we used to imagine, showing that exercising four hours before sleeping can have a devastating effect on sleeping.
According to RCO News Agency, Researchers at the University of Monash took a look at international data from the 6,000 people who were monitored by several biometric sensors for one year, which was equivalent to four million nights. Tracking devices had recorded information on exercise, sleep and cardiovascular activity.
But scientists did not look at the impact of all exercises. They were more interested in knowing how the intensity of exercise may have stable changes to heart rate at night. What they found was the connection between night exercise and delay in sleep and less sleep during the night as well as more heart rate at rest than those who exercised earlier during the day.
“In the evening, severe exercise can keep the body in alertness, which is why public health guidelines have already recommended that they should not be close to bedtime,” says Josh Leota, from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Monash. However, the findings of controlled laboratory studies are less definitive, and many suggest that evening exercise does not necessarily disrupt sleep.
These studies rely on the size of small samples in the laboratory environment and rarely include exercise exercises that create significant metabolic activity in the body.
Previous studies have been associated with sleep disorder, but the exact timeframe has been different. In year 2, the University of Concordia found that exercising two hours before bedtime means changing from useful to sleep.
The Monash Group set up data to consider factors such as age, gender, week of week, season, general readiness of participants and how they sleep at night without doing evening exercise.
Now, many of us know that the biological effects of sustainable activities such as long running or even exercise training sessions. These effects include increased body temperature and heart rate and mental alertness. But the group found that previous estimates of exercise -related sleep disorders may have calculated the amount of time to prevent nightmares and sleep disorders.
Elise Facer-Adilds, a senior author of the study at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Monash, said: “Sleeping, which includes high levels of cardiovascular pressure, may disrupt sleep, heart rate and heart rate changes, resulting in an important step in recovery.
Our new and timely findings have significant consequences for general health about the time, duration and intensity of exercise, and are a vital step towards improving the health of societies.
Of course, many people exercise in the evenings for a variety of reasons, such as work and family commitments. If exercise is forbidden at any time, evening exercise can still be considered a healthy way to reduce stress and maintain fitness. However, the researchers suggest that you choose “when” and “what sport” you choose to have a good night’s sleep. In addition, previous studies have shown that poor sleep can neutralize the benefits that are obtained through exercise for brain health.
“If you exercise in a four -hour window before bedtime, you can choose short exercises with low intensity, such as lighting or swimming to minimize sleep disorder and allow the body to calm down,” says Liota. Of course, exercise is better than not exercising, but scientists say awareness of its impact on sleep can help people provide the best results for their body.
