>He says the question raised by his findings is whether the Special Forces soldiers have always released higher levels of the chemical or whether their training somehow enhanced their ability to do so. “I don’t think that’s likely. I think those guys are just different,” Morgan said, “but we’re still testing that hypothesis.”What the research found was a correlation between neuropeptide-Y and stress resilience. That's a great finding, and one that should definitely be followed up on. But we need a cohort study to see if mental or physical training can affect the amount of neuropeptide-Y your brain produces or if it is a constant factor.
The title of the article is not the findings of the study, but rather the author of the study's opinion of what will be found with future work.
Many people have reported the ability to train themselves to handle stress better. If neuropeptide-Y is the chemical responsible for mediating that response, then it logically follows that their training is causing their body to release more of it. We shouldn't toss it common knowledge on the topic just yet, the claim being made here is not what was tested in the study, more work needs to be done yet before we know if this claim is true.
