The Influence of Exercise on the Endocrine System: Impacts on Adolescent Growth and Development.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adolescence is a critical period for growth, maturation, and endocrine regulation, during which hormonal adaptations play a key role in physical development and long-term metabolic health. Physical exercise acts as an important physiological stimulus capable of modulating several endocrine pathways involved in energy balance, appetite regulation, and cardiometabolic function. This chapter discusses the influence of exercise on the endocrine system in children and adolescents, emphasizing its effects on metabolic control, body composition, and appetite-related hormones. Evidence indicates that aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise interventions improve insulin sensitivity, reduce cardiometabolic risk factors, and promote favorable hormonal responses, even in the absence of significant weight loss. Acute exercise transiently suppresses orexigenic signals and enhances satiety-related hormones without inducing compensatory increases in energy intake, particularly in adolescents with overweight or obesity. The chapter also addresses practical considerations for exercise prescription in this population, highlighting the importance of developmentally appropriate, individualized, and supportive approaches. Overall, physical exercise represents a key non-pharmacological strategy to support endocrine balance and healthy growth during adolescence.
