Dopamine may play key role in why exercise feels "easy" to some people and exhausting to others

Dopamine, a brain chemical long associated with pleasure, motivation and reward-seeking, also appears to play an important role in why exercise and other physical efforts feel "easy" to some people and exhausting to others, according to results of a study of people with Parkinson's disease led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers. Parkinson's disease is marked by a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain over time.
