Summary/Abstract: The endocrine system, through its hormones, is essential for both overall bodily functions and sports performance. Hormones are biologically active chemicals that regulate physiological processes, influence metabolism, and mobilise the body’s energy reserves. Their role becomes particularly significant during physical activity. When muscles contract, hormones are secreted and circulate in the blood, triggering a cascade of biochemical reactions that affect both the working muscles and the entire body. In athletes, hormones are crucial for developing motor skills, enhancing, and sustaining performance, and aiding recovery after intense exercise.
