How workout timing influences your muscle growth and injury riskChoosing the right time for physical activity directly determines your endurance, recovery speed, and injury risk. For most, body temperature hits its lowest point in the early morning, resulting in decreased muscle elasticity. Morning sessions facilitate discipline, as they are less likely to be derailed by work emergencies, effectively freeing the evening for recovery. Conversely, evening training aligns better with physical peaks: muscle strength is at its maximum, and physical movement serves as a psychological release for accumulated daily stress. Is there a "gold standard" for strength training?
