Endocrine Response to Training Programs in the Midlife

Abstract

It has been proposed that regular physical exercise training could delay the normal process of aging and protect against the metabolic disorders of midlife. In order to relate the hormonal response to training and its protective effects, the recent theory on aging are firstly exposed. The role of hormonal changes on aging process is evoked. In the second part, the normal hormonal response to physical exercise and training, are exposed. In the last part, the specificity of hormonal response to training in midlife is used to explain some protective effect of training. The principal effect seem the improvement in insulin sensitivity but the role of training on growth hormone and androgen could he involved in the effect of training on muscle mass and bone density.
