Pituitary-adrenal response to static exercise in man

J D Few et al. Clin Sci Mol Med. 1975 Sep.

Abstract

1. Changes in plasma concentrations of catecholamines and cortisol were measured before and after static exercise performed by the subject pushing with both legs against a strain-gauge bar. No marked changes in plasma catecholamine were observed but plasma cortisol increased after the subject pushed for 3 min at 50% of maximum force. 2. Holding a 20 kg weight for 5 min in one hand caused a rise in plasma cortisol and in plasma ACTH but no changes in growth hormone were observed.
