Abstract

Physical movement is suggested to the common population by numerous medical institutions, because it is a significant instrument for improving public health. On the other hand, physical movement can also be harmful, particularly when performed in a very extreme mode. Different biological and psychological indicators have been used to optimize competitive readiness. On the psychological part, mood states have been revealed to be susceptible to modifications in physical exercise. On the biological side, technical advances have been made by the introduction of non invasive assessment of biomarkers. This article reviews the research on the Profile of Mood States effects associated with sport and exercise (occasional and intense) and biological markers. The series of studies reveals relations between biological markers and mood states, and sustains the conclusion that hormonal responses indicate physiological processes that produce and are affected by psychological processes.
