    Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This study aimed to investigate the time course of \u03b2-endorphin (\u03b2-EDP) levels in healthy males following an acute exercise, while considering their age and physical fitness (PF) level.<\/p>\n

    Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Participants (N\u2009=\u200929, 20\u201365 years) were categorized in good PF young adult (YA1), excellent PF young adult (YA2), and excellent PF middle-aged adult (MA) group, depending on peak oxygen uptake and age. They underwent a maximal incremental cycling test, with blood samples collected at baseline (T0), 15 min (T1), and 24 h post-exercise (T2). Serum \u03b2-EDP levels were measured using an ELISA kit.<\/p>\n

    Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Significant increases in \u03b2-EDP levels were observed from T0 to T1 in all enrolled subjects. In YA1, levels rose from 170.1 to 202.5 pg\/ml (p\u2009<\u20090.001), in YA2 from 188.4 to 230.3 pg\/ml (p\u2009<\u20090.05), and in MA level increased from 153 to 189.3 pg\/ml (p\u2009<\u20090.01). YA2 showed higher levels of \u03b2-EDP than MA in any time point (p\u2009<\u20090.05). All groups displayed a significant decrease of \u03b2-EDP from T1 to T2. Comparison between groups revealed that age significantly influenced baseline \u03b2-EDP levels, with notable differences between young and middle-aged individuals. Noteworthy, MA with excellent PF presented similar \u03b2-EDP levels to young with good PF.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Acute exercise triggers a notable but transient elevation of serum \u03b2-EDP levels in both young and middle-aged adults, with the latter exhibiting lower baseline levels. Additionally, our findings suggest that age may have a greater influence on \u03b2-EDP secretion, both at rest and after physical exercise compared to PF level.<\/p>\n
