Abstract—Based on many studies, this paper discusses the relationship between Substance P, Substance P receptor and exercise. There is good evidence to support the role for SP in nociception, inflammation, glandular secretions, and allergic reactions and in the control of gastrointestinal, respiratory and cardiovascular smooth muscle. It elucidates the role of SP and SPR on exercise from the nervous system and muscle. It concludes that comprehensive study on SP and SPR may be the key to sports and sports-related issues.

Index Terms—Function, substance P, substance P receptor, exercise.
