Harmful. Drinking coffee immediately after training is not recommended, she explained fitness trainer, nutritionist Irina BARBASHINSKAYA. It is better to do this either before the start of class, or two hours after physical activity.
Intense physical activity increases the production of cortisol in order to supply nerve and muscle cells with energy at this moment. After training, the body should go into parasympathetic mode, that is, recover and relax. And the caffeine contained in coffee will overload the nervous system and interfere with full recovery after exercise.
Therefore, if you can’t live without an invigorating drink, then ideally you can drink coffee before training to create a desire and have more energy for sports.
