Abstract
Background: Hormonal levels in women are influenced by exercise intensity and modality.
Methods: This 10-week study compared high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional resistance training (TRT) in 72 young women. Hormonal levels (estrogen, testosterone, FSH, prolactin, and LH) were measured pre- and post-intervention.
Results: Both groups showed significant increases in estrogen (HIIT: 150%; TRT: 72.3%) and decreases in testosterone (HIIT: 58%; TRT: 49%), FSH (HIIT: 6%; TRT: 7.7%), and PL (HIIT: 5%; TRT: 2.1%). There are no significant changes in LH.
Conclusions: HIIT and TRT effectively modulate hormonal profiles, potentially benefiting reproductive and metabolic health.
