Understanding the influence and interaction between physical
activity and the endocrine system are of paramount importance in
dealing with a multitude of health problems. In Endocrinology of
Physical Activity and Sport, renowned physicians and researchers
provide a comprehensive and expanded update on the scientific,
clinical and practical components of endocrinology as related to
sport and exercise. The authors thoroughly review what is known
about how such activity effects the endocrine system and how in
turn these hormonal responses affect many other organs and systems
of the body. In addition, aspects of endocrinology in non-glandular
tissue which have endocrine actions are addressed; for example,
adipocytes and the release of leptin and related adipocytokines.
Further, a wide range of clinically related topics such as athletic
amenorrhea, osteopenia, sarcopenia, and hypogonadism are included.
This new edition critically integrates what is known about the
complex interaction of the endocrine system in the sports context
and will again prove immensely valuable to all physicians and
clinical investigators treating those active in sports today.
