Abstract in brief

  • Physical exercise impacts various brain neurotransmitter systems, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, affecting their synthesis and metabolism.
  • Recent techniques like microdialysis allow scientists to measure real-time neurotransmitter release in living animals during activities like exercise, revealing that exercise influences neurotransmitter levels.
  • While studies show some inconsistencies, especially regarding amino acid supplementation and fatigue, the emerging data suggest that changes in neurotransmitter release are linked to motor behavior and fatigue during prolonged exercise.
