This workshop introduces the relationship between exercise and the endocrine system, focusing on how hormones help regulate energy, metabolism, hydration, recovery, stress, and physical performance. This Workshop is worth 8 CEC's
This workshop introduces the relationship between exercise and the endocrine system, focusing on how hormones help regulate energy, metabolism, hydration, recovery, stress, and physical performance. Participants will explore how the body responds to different types of exercise through hormonal and nervous system activity, and how these responses influence strength, endurance, body composition, and overall health. This session provides a practical and easy-to-understand overview of how exercise affects the body at the hormonal level and why these responses are important for fitness, recovery, and long-term wellness.
