How much exercise is needed to result in release of endorphins?
Sep 22, 2013

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
Excercise result in increase of beta endorphins. There is no specific amount or timing that result in its release but some studies prooved that intense exercise (30 min treadmill) induces significant increases in beta-endorphin and this endorphin concentration was maintained over time during steady-rate exercise. Also other studies showed that endorphins can be elevated just before the beginning of exercise then they increase and reach a steady state with continous exercise.
