Hormesis is a concept to explain of adaptation of body to certain dose of Toxic substance. if some condition in exercise like of produce of Free radical, reactive oxygen species, decrease of pH and etc be a toxic condition for body can we called exercise for one of factor of hormesis? what is your idea?
Merry TL, Ristow M. Mitohormesis in exercise training. Free Radic Biol Med 2016;98:123-130. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285392332_Mitohormesis_in_exercise_training
Hormesis is the stress placed on the physiological systems during exercise. It relates to the POSITIVE adaptations that occur from the " Stress of Exercise." The positive stressor is exercise and hormesis relates to to the stress that contributes to positive adaptations.
I agree with Waleed. Hormesis is response to oxidative stress from exercise. So it´s necessary this condition to obtain a correct or healthy answer.
Hi, Dr. Seyyed Vahid Hosseini,
Thank you for the interesting topic. Yah, you are very right. if exercise is for gradual adaptation to oxidative stressors, too much of vigorous & prolonged exercise (atheletes) seems to be rather damaging. The recent trend is 'high intensity interval training' or high intensity training for a much shorter time (15 - 30mins), for healthy life style for general people. Plant polyphenols are also said to be hormetic agents for human health. But we human always look for more for much better, which runs counter to hormesis (less is better) . Thank you.
