Description

This section outlines the positive effects of Exercise on the metabolism and synthesis of other compounds, hormones and nutrients.

 

Exercise may Enhance the Function or Production of these Substances

Carbohydrates

 Regular Exercise may improve the body’s metabolism of Glucose.  [1]

 

Enzymes

 Exercise may increase the production/activity of Glutamate Decarboxylase.  [2]

 

Hormones

 Exercise may stimulate the production and release of Human Growth Hormone (hGH):  [3]

 hGH secretion is more dependent on the intensity of Exercise than on the quantity of Exercise.

 hGH secretion is maximized during Exercise when the Exercise involves relatively heavy weight sets performed in sets of 8 - 10 repetitions with a 1 minute rest between sets.  This strategy produces 36% higher hGH release than Exercise that involves longer rest periods or lower weights.
