Physical Activity Modulators

Meaning

Physical activity modulators are the diverse physiological and biochemical factors, both endogenous and exogenous, that influence the initiation, intensity, duration, and subsequent metabolic effects of exercise on the human body. These modulators include circulating hormones, genetic predispositions, nutritional status, and the timing of physical exertion. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing exercise prescriptions to achieve specific hormonal health goals, such as improving insulin sensitivity or enhancing bone density.
