Endorphin is a dynamic motion synthesis software package developed by NaturalMotion in 2005. [1] Endorphin can be used to generate computer simulations of large numbers of independent characters interacting with each other and the world according to brief scripts or 'behaviours'.
Endorphin production can be triggered by vigorous aerobic exercise. The release of β-endorphin has been postulated to contribute to the phenomenon known as "runner's high". [40] [41] However, several studies have supported the hypothesis that the runner's high is due to the release of endocannabinoids rather than that of endorphins. [42]
Exercise Expert [6] is a desktop software for Windows to create custom home exercise handouts for fitness. Exercise Prescriber [7] is an online exercise prescription software tool that allows clinicians to send narrated video clips of home exercises to their patients' email or mobile phones. It also allows clinicians to send online info pages ...
The mechanisms of sympathomimetic drugs can be direct-acting (direct interaction between drug and receptor), such as α-adrenergic agonists, β-adrenergic agonists, and dopaminergic agonists; or indirect-acting (interaction not between drug and receptor), such as MAOIs, COMT inhibitors, release stimulants, and reuptake inhibitors that increase the levels of endogenous catecholamines.
β-Endorphin release in response to exercise has been known and studied since at least the 1980s. [21] Studies have demonstrated that serum concentrations of endogenous opioids, in particular β-endorphin and β-lipotropin , increase in response to both acute exercise and training. [ 21 ]
Endorphins are generally known as neurotransmitters that are released when the body goes into pain. [3] The three endorphins that play a role in this response are α-endorphin, β-endorphin (beta-endorphin), and γ-endorphin (gamma-endorphin) which are all derived from the same polypeptide known as pro-opiomelanocortin.

Proponents of dopamine fasting see a benefit from taking periodic breaks from technologies which are seen as addictive, such as smartphones. Dopamine fasting is the general practice of "fasting" or abstaining from any impulsive and behavioral addictions in order to cope with such addictions and thus attempt to reset to a healthier lifestyle.
Exercise prescription software is a branch of computer software designed to aid in the construction of exercise programmes or regimes for patients who require some kind of ongoing rehabilitation. Exercise prescription is common in physiotherapy practices where traditionally patients would be given a printed handout with diagrams and ...
