Mobombi had completed about a quarter of the distance in the marathon in which he was a participant. suddenly, he stumbled and fell. despite feeling a sharp pain initially, he got up and continued to run until he completed the race. upon crossing the finish line he fell down writhing in pain. when checked out, it was discovered that mobombi had broken his leg. he was able to run the remainder of the marathon relatively pain free due to the release of

Endorphin. Endorphin are pepetide hormones secreted by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. They inhibit the transmission of pain signals; they also produce a feeling of euphoria very similar to the ones produced by other opioids. Its 1 production is usually triggered by various human activities although they are produced in response to pain. Carrying out frequent exercise usually stimulates the release of beta-endorphin in the human brain known as runner's high. This is the probably the reason Mobombi could finish the race pain free.
