In reply to Exercise to lower cortisol?, posted by MM on September 6, 2005, at 7:35:53
I was looking something else up and ran across this comment from Larry http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030402/msgs/216187.html
Thought you might find it interesting:
"With respect to cortisol release and exercise. All exercise increases cortisol release. Exercise is used as an experimentally-controlled variable to induce cortisol release, both in man, and laboratory animals. This is an acute response. Stress reduction from exercise is more likely mediated by other hormones released during exertion. These other hormones help to balance out the body's response to cortisol. IMHO, it's the lack of balancing hormones which makes for the cortisol/stress correlation."
