Hormonal Influence on Exercise

Meaning

Hormonal Influence on Exercise describes the complex, bidirectional, and dynamic relationship where acute and chronic physical activity alters the secretion and action of numerous endocrine signals, and conversely, where the baseline hormonal milieu dictates the body’s physiological response and adaptation to exercise. This intricate neuroendocrine interplay governs critical functions such as energy mobilization, tissue repair, fluid and electrolyte balance, and the psychological drive necessary for sustained performance. It is a core concept in understanding exercise-induced physiological change and long-term adaptation.
