Providing a comprehensive review of the interactions between
exercise and human reproduction, this unique text focuses on both
the positive and negative consequences of sport and physical
activity on male and female fertility and infertility and the
biological mechanisms and processes behind them. Beginning with a
review of the structure and function of the male and female
reproductive systems as well as fertilization and gestation, the
discussion then turns to the physiology and endocrinology of sport
and exercise, which is further elaborated in subsequent chapters on
the impact of physical activity, hormonal changes, pathologies, and
consequences of drug use for active men and women. Additional
chapters address related topics, such as the impact of sport on
young athletes and developing reproductive potential, physical
activity and pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives in athletes,
oxidative stress, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies on
athletes' fertility, with a final chapter providing recommendations
and therapeutic guidelines for exercise-related reproductive
disorders. Covering everything from the fundamental principles of
sports physiology and human reproductive potential to the
interaction between physical exercise and the endocrinology of the
reproductive system, Exercise and Human Reproduction is an
authoritative resource for helping clinicians understand how the
reproductive system adapts to activity and exercise and offers
strategies to avoid potential harm to human reproduction.

Fertility, Pregnancy, and Wellness is designed to bridge science
and a more holistic approach to health and wellness, in particular,
dealing with female-male fertility and the gestational process.
Couples seeking to solve fertility issues for different reasons,
whether failed assisted reproductive techniques or the emotional
impact they entail, economic or moral reasons, are demanding more
natural ways of improving fertility. This book explores the shift
in paradigm from just using medications which, in the reproductive
field, can be very expensive and not accessible to the entire
population, to using lifestyle modifications and emotional support
as adjunctive medicine therapies. This must-have reference brings
together the current knowledge - highlighting the gaps - and
delivers an important resource for various specialists and
practitioners.
