From the said find-ings the following conclusions were drawn: flavor preferred learning, sleep deprivation and swimming training can change the Eβ-endorphin of hypothalamus related nuclear clusters, and their effect varies with stimulation means; in the process of flavor preferred learning, the effect of the taste factor may be greater than the characterizes of stimulants themselves, and the effect of nutrient contents on overall sense is not significant; there might be a common neuro-chemical channel between sleep deprivation and exhaustive exercise in the process of their occurrence and devel-opment. It is hinted that the toxic side effect free pharmacological effect produced by flavor preferred learning can be utilized to delay the adverse process of sleep deprivation and exhaustive exercise, thus performing the function of improving sleep and promoting recovery.
