Abstract
The effect of long-term (7 weeks) swimming training on the content of beta-endorphin, met- and leu-enkephalins in various brain regions and adrenal glands has been studied in Wistar rats. It has been shown that the adaptation to exercise induced an increase in the content of opioid peptides in most of the brain regions and in adrenal glands. This increase in the level of opioid peptides seems to play an important role in the increase of the resistance to stress.
