Metabolism and Endurance Performance Endurance training induces profound metabolic adaptations that enhance an athlete’s ability to sustain prolonged efforts. Hormones like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), insulin, cortisol, and leptin play critical roles in regulating energy balance, glucose metabolism, fat utilization, and recovery. Understanding how these hormones interact can help athletes optimize their training, nutrition, and recovery … Continue reading Metabolic Adaptations in Endurance Athletes: How GLP-1, Insulin, and Other Hormones Impact Performance and Recovery
