Introduction
Exercising at 11 p.m. may have certain adverse effects on the body, potentially leading to lactic acid buildup, which can cause local redness, swelling, stabbing pain, and soreness. Therefore, in daily life, to avoid causing serious harm to the body, patients are advised not to engage in exercise at such a late hour. Those wishing to work out should instead choose morning or afternoon sessions, and proper stretching should be performed before exercising.
Exercising at 11 p.m. is not good for the body. Therefore, in daily life, to avoid causing serious harm, patients are advised against engaging in physical activity at such a late hour.
Performing exercise at 11 p.m., especially intense or vigorous activities, can easily lead to lactic acid buildup in local muscle tissues. Excessive accumulation of lactic acid may result in pain, swelling, and tightness in the affected areas. Additionally, human activities follow certain physiological rhythms. After a full day's activities, organs require adequate rest. Moreover, physical exercise puts the body into an excited state, making it difficult to fall asleep immediately afterward, which could lead to late-night wakefulness.
For those wishing to incorporate fitness into their daily routine, mornings or afternoons are more suitable times. It's also important to perform proper stretching exercises before working out to help prevent lactic acid buildup and muscle strain.
