The Hormonal Response to Intense Exercise:
(Tony Leyland – CFJ March 2008)
The hormonal response to high-power activities includes testosterone & human growth
hormone, but many others are involved. The intense work also causes cellular damage
that forces the body to rebuild tissue & strengthen, there are important hormones
involved in the rebuilding process. And, your metabolism will stay elevated for much
longer after a high power activity due to the action of adrenal gland hormones.
Performing only long-slow, low-powered aerobic work is clearly inadequate for driving
healthy hormonal response & truly healthy body composition - one that includes adequate
musculature in all regions of the body, good bone & connective tissue density, and
healthy body fat levels.
