HORMONAL RESPONSES TO EXERCISE AND TRAINING: A SHORT REVIEW

HORMONAL RESPONSES TO EXERCISE AND TRAINING: A SHORT REVIEW Department of Endocrinology, St Bartholomews Hospital, London E C l A 7BE (Received 8 September 1986; returned for revision 7 November 1986;$naIIy revised 3 December 1986; accepted 9 December 1986) INTRODUCTION Acute exercise is a potent modulator of the release of a large number of hormones and has therefore been widely studied as a stimulus to hormonal secretion since the earliest days of radioimmunoassay.

Abstract

Department of Endocrinology, St Bartholomews Hospital, London E C l A 7BE (Received 8 September 1986; returned for revision 7 November 1986;$naIIy revised 3 December 1986; accepted 9 December 1986) INTRODUCTION Acute exercise is a potent modulator of the release of a large number of hormones and has therefore been widely studied as a stimulus to hormonal secretion since the earliest days of radioimmunoassay.
