- Growth Hormone
- Insulin like growth factor 1
- Testosterone
- Cortisol
- Prolactin
- Epinephrine

- Cortisol levels are higher in unfit individuals compared to elite individuals
Ways Exercise to Improve the Endocrine System
Physical Activity
1. Stimulation of growth hormone.
2. Regulating blood sugar, reduces inflamation and assists in the formation of memories.
3. Boosts metabolism
Ways Physical Inactivity can Negatively affect the Endocrine System
Physical Inactivity
1. Increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
2. Increased risk of becoming insulin resistant.
3. Increased risk of getting sarcopenia.
