Post-Exercise Biomarker Response

Meaning

Post-Exercise Biomarker Response refers to the immediate and delayed changes in measurable physiological indicators, such as hormones, inflammatory cytokines, and metabolic byproducts, that occur following a bout of physical exertion. Clinically, analyzing this response provides critical insight into an individual’s recovery capacity, training adaptation, and underlying hormonal or metabolic health status. A healthy response is characterized by a rapid return to baseline and a favorable anabolic-to-catabolic hormone ratio.
