Exercise Modalities

Meaning

The specific types or methods of physical activity employed to elicit desired physiological and metabolic adaptations in the human body. These modalities encompass a range of structured movements, including aerobic training, resistance training, and high-intensity interval training. Appropriate selection of exercise modalities is crucial for optimizing hormonal responses, such as improving insulin sensitivity and stimulating growth hormone secretion. A tailored approach is necessary to match the modality to the individual’s hormonal and metabolic goals.
