Play and the Feel-Good Hormones
How does play affect hormones and brain chemistry?
Active play can influence neurochemical systems involved in mood, motivation, reward, stress regulation and social connection. These include endorphins, endocannabinoids, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, GABA and oxytocin. Together, these systems help explain why movement and play can leave you feeling more energised, connected and positive.
