Exercise Intensity Endocrine Effect

Meaning

Exercise Intensity Endocrine Effect describes the distinct and dose-dependent influence that varying levels of physical exertion have on the secretion, metabolic clearance, and receptor sensitivity of hormones throughout the entire endocrine system. Different exercise intensities selectively trigger the release of specific hormones, such as catecholamines, growth hormone, or cortisol, leading to diverse physiological adaptations. This effect is a critical factor that must be considered in the design of personalized fitness and hormonal optimization protocols.
