Body rhythm’s are a interesting aspect of life , and although we don’t always consciously notice them , they are definitely there. Whether it be seasonal rhythms or menstruation rhythms , our lives adapt to certain rhythms and our bodies respond to them. In each of us is an internal clock which is influenced by various factors such as age , diet , exercises, scheduled habits , ect. These factors will determine blood pressure , testosterone , seritonin levels , muscle growth , body weight fluctuation and much more. The rhythms that we respond to are embedded into every cell in our body and as of now scientists from all over the world are starting to really research these rhythms to our advantage.

Some studies show that rhythms that regulate the body temperature , cortical stimulation , muscular peak torque , cardio vascular system and endocrinal factors will peak during pm hours. Therefore suggesting that a substantial enhancement in workouts would be optimal at night , preferably cardio vascular exercises. Testosterone concentrations are peaked during morning hours and concentration is substantially reduced at night during bedtime hours.

Testosterone and Growth hormones are responsible for regulating protein synthesis while catabolic hormones regulate protein degradation , combining both processes will further result in producing muscle mass. An increased muscle mass will also help support healthy testosterone. In several studies scientists concluded that greater cortisol levels were reduced in the morning following a spike in testosterone. This highly suggests that weight lifting exercises can produce optimal results during the morning hours due to higher testosterone and lower cortisol levels.

Scientists are opening up new doors about muscle building and testosterone levels effected by circadian rhythms as technology progresses. With the help of supplements and exercise , understanding one’s circadian rhythm can prove to be very helpful when maintaining healthy testosterone and being fit with muscle mass.
