Endocrine System

Question 1

Endocrine system

Answer 1

Facilitation of reproductive processes
Growth
Tissue maintenance and repair
Physiological dynamics that result in eustress or distress

Question 2

Eustress

Answer 2

A positive, desirable form of stress that influences physical or physiological health.

Question 3

Distress

Answer 3

A negative form of stress that influences physical or physiological health

Question 4

Growth Hormone

Answer 4

Anabolic hormone- pituitary gland
Promotes cell division and creation
Facilitates protein synthesis
Protects glycogen reserves
Limits carbohydrate metabolism
Release due to exercise is Intensity-dependent

Question 5

Testosterone

Answer 5

Produced in the gonadal glands
Men have 10x more than women
High intensity total body exercises increases most effectively
Enhances size and strength of muscle

Question 6

Pancreatic hormones

Answer 6

Production of digestive enzymes for the breakdown of food

Regulation of blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin and glucagon

Question 7

Insulin

Answer 7

Anabolic hormone that helps control blood sugar by driving excess glucose into muscle and the liver to be stored as glycogen, or into fat cells where it is converted into triglycerides

Question 8

Glucagon

Answer 8

Stimulates and increase in blood sugar levels when they are low.
Specifically alpha cells in the pancreas release glucagon for transport to the liver where it stimulates the release of stored glucose into circulation

Question 9

Thyroid hormones

Answer 9

T3/T4 
Increase the metabolic rate for all cells 
Heavy exercise increases release 
Possible contributes to EPOC 
Increase the secretion of GH and IGF-1

Question 10

Hyperthyroidism / Hypothyroidism

Answer 10

Will impede weight gain

Will impede weight loss

Question 11

Adrenal hormones

Answer 11

Specifically designed to manage stress

Question 12

Aldosterone

Answer 12

A primary regulator of electrolyte activity and water balance as it promotes re-absorption or excretion of sodium in the kidneys

Question 13

Cortisol

Answer 13

Inhibits CHO uptake and oxidation in the body by acting as an insulin antagonist
Released during high physiological stress, leading to significant body protein breakdown
Promotes visceral fat storage in the abdomen

Question 14

Catecholamines

Answer 14

Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine is based on the acute stress experienced in the body.
Promote heart rate and blood pressure changes
Enhance the enzymatic systems of working tissue
Promote vasodilation
Augment the release of anabolic hormones

Question 15

Adaptive outcomes

Answer 15

Based on:
Exercise selection
Intensity and duration
Rest intervals used

Question 16

Resistance training effects on hormones

Answer 16

GH👆🏻
IGF👆🏻
Test👆🏻
Thyroid hormones👆🏻
Cortisol and epinephrine (heavy)👆🏻
Insulin👇🏻

Question 17

Hypertrophy

Answer 17

An increase in muscle fiber size.

Requires high volume, heavy resistance, longer durations, shorter rest periods.

Question 18

Many individuals error in their efforts by utilizing loads that are too light, volume that is too low, and/or use rest periods between sets and exercises that are too long.

Answer 18

Keep in mind

Question 19

Aerobic training hormone response

Answer 19

GH👆🏻
Thyroid hormones👆🏻
Cortisol and epinephrine 👆🏻
Insulin sensitivity 👆🏻

Testosterone👇🏻
Insulin response👇🏻
