Abstract
Summary: The effect of graded exercise on the secretion of cortisol, testosterone, prolactin, growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is reported. While cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone and testosterone rise during the period of exercise, a rise in luteinizing hormone becomes evident only after rest. Levels of FSH and TSH remained unchanged.Keywords
