Morning Exercise More Effective If Do Before Breakfast

Morning Exercise More Effective If Do Before Breakfast - Many people feel if it was not exercising in the morning. Though the morning is the most ideal time for exercise. Walk or bike ride before breakfast, show good results. It is based on the results of a study published in The Journal of Physiology.

In that study, the researchers involves an active and healthy men aged 28 years. The study participants had a daily diet of bad, which is composed of 50 percent fat and 30 percent more calories. Most of the research participants did not exercise during the study.

While the other study participants during the research exercise. Some participants exercising 4 times a week outside in the morning, such as walking and cycling to severe intensity. All exercises are supervised, so that the energy expenditure of both groups was similar.

One group ate a diet rich in carbohydrate at breakfast before exercising and continue to have carbs. The second group exercise without breakfast first and only drink water during exercise. The study lasted for 6 weeks.

Group who did not exercise the average weight has increased more than 6 kg and also develop insulin resistance. Muscles of the participants in the group no longer respond properly to insulin and do not attract excess sugar or glucose from the bloodstream efficiently and have begun to store excess fat in the muscle cells.

Insulin resistance and excess fat deposits in the muscle cells are metabolically unhealthy condition and is a precursor to diabetes. People who eat breakfast before heavy exercise also increased body weight, although not as much in the first group.

The participants in the group have also become more resistant to insulin and which store large amounts of excess fat in the muscle. Only group that showed exercise before breakfast enhancement the least weight and almost did not show signs of insulin resistance.

The results showed that, in a state not to eat sport is more effective than exercise after eating carbohydrates. Do oalhraga morning without breakfast also help men avoid weight gain.

"In this study, only the group who exercised without breakfast showed a favorable metabolic adaptation, which in turn may enhance oxidative fatty acid levels," said Peter Hespel, Ph.D., a professor of Research Center for Exercise and Health at Catholic University Leuven, Belgium as reported from TheNewYorkTimes, Thursday (01/03/2012).

However, researchers have not been able to conclude whether the same benefit will increase if you exercise at a more leisurely pace and in shorter time. So that further research will be needed to get the benefits of exercise are better.
