The human body when subjected to heavy loads of physical training suffers numerous modifications to adapt to stress in which the body is subjected. Various systems are affected directly and indirectly, we can mention the cardio respiratory system as the one that suffers most modifications when we are facing an intense physical load. Another system to modify and in which we will explain in this paper is the endocrine system, specifically the thyroid gland who suffers some changes. This paper aims to demonstrate and exemplify the changes in the thyroid gland during physical activity, such as the release of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and the alteration occurred in the release of thyroid hormones. All these changes suffer direct influence on the athlete's performance being a limiting factor for a good performance. Through this paper we exemplify the changes that occurred in the thyroid gland during exercise in order to seek an intervention for these transformations, aiming ultimately a good performance of the athlete.
