exercise-induced growth hormone release

Exercise-induced growth hormone release occurs when physical activity stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone, a key hormone for cell repair, metabolism, and muscle growth. During exercise, especially intense or endurance activities, the body perceives stress and signals the brain to release growth hormone. This boost helps mobilize fat for energy, supports tissue repair, and promotes muscle development. Generally, the more intense and longer the exercise, the greater the hormone release. This process is a natural response that aids recovery and improves physical performance.
