Özet: One of problems of today is the health problems caused by sedentary life. Therefore, there are many studies related to exercise and health in the literature. In some of these studies, the effects of exercise on metabolism were investigated in a hormonal framework. Hormones are regulatory molecules that have control the growth, reproduction and continue energy production and storage. Exercise by affecting hormone secretion, constitute adaptive responses facilitate the organism to cope with the stress of exercise. So, while the resting release levels of some hormones are low, their release levels may increase during exercise and intense training. Sex steroid hormones have powerful effects on nervous, skeletal and cardiovascular system as well as regulating reproductive functions. Also it has been reported that there is a relation between physical activity and FSH and LH of pituitary gonadotropins, estrogen and testosterone of reproductive hormones and prolactin which is also pituitary. So, it can be said that there is an interaction between physical activity and hormonal balance. The effects of exercise on hormones have been subject of many research and as a result, the idea that hormonal changes respond to physical activity by metabolic and endocrine adaptation has gained weight and today, the effects of exercise on the hormone secretion is an important topic of sports physiology and sports related health research. It was aimed to review the effects of exercise on reproductive hormones. It is thought that it will be important for athletes to add the information obtained from the result of this study to the literature.
