Abstract

Exercise and physical activity can have a significant impact on endocrine function, as regular physical activity can help regulate hormone levels and improve overall endocrine function. Exercise has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in individuals with diabetes. In this chapter, we will review the evidence regarding exercise benefits in diabetes and special consideration in exercise prescription in the general population and professional athletes with diabetes. Also, we will review the existing evidence on exercise and growth hormone levels and thyroid functions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
