Description
The Endocrine System in Sports and Exercise edited by Dr. William J. Kraemer PhD, Dr. Alan David Rogol MD PhD, 2005The Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine is a multi-volume IOC Medical Commission publication, in collaboration with the International Federation of Sports Medicine. Each book is designed to present state-of-the-art information on current topics of specific clinical and scientific importance. The Endocrine System in Sports and Exercise addresses a vitally important area of physiological functioning that has become the focus of a great deal of attention during the past twenty years. The acute responses and chronic adaptations of the human endocrine system to the muscular activity involved in conditioning exercise, physical labour, and sport activities must be understood in order to better plan programs of physical fitness, preparation for sports competition, and the medical care of athletes.The Co-Editors of this volume have divided the general topic area into logical and important sub-topics. The leading researchers in the world have been recruited to contribute chapters on the various sub-topics. There is no other reference in existence that addresses the topic area in such complete and authoritative fashion.Contents List of ContributorsForewordPreface1 Introduction2 Basic Principles and Mechanisms of Endocrinology3 Exercise Testing: a Bridge Between the High-Tech and the Humana the Need forInnovative Technologies4 Measurement of Peptide Hormones5 Analysis of Low Molecular Weight Substances in Doping Control6 The Reproductive Axis7 Growth Hormone Variants and Human Exercise8 Growth Hormone Binding Proteins9 Resistance Exercise: Acute and Chronic Changes in Growth Hormone Concentrations10 The Growth Hormone Response to Acute and Chronic Aerobic Exercise11 Proopiomelanocortin and Exercise12 Introduction to the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Signaling System13 Exercise, Training and the GHIGF-I Axis14 The Role of MGF and Other IGF-I Splice Variants in Muscle Maintenance and Hypertrophy15 Adrenal Gland: Fight or Flight Implications for Exercise and Sports16 The Adrenal Medulla: Proenkephalins and Exercise Stress17 Exercise and the HypothalamicPituitary Adrenal Axis18 Influence of Energy Availability on Luteinizing Hormone Pulsatility and Menstrual Cyclicity19 Oral Contraceptive Use and Physical Performance20 Energy Balance and Exercise-Associated Menstrual Cycle Disturbances: Practical and Clinical Considerations21 Regulation of Testicular Function: Changes in Reproductive Hormones During Exercise, Recovery, Nutritional Deprivation and Illness22 Hormonal and Growth Factor-Related Mechanisms Involved in the Adaptation of Skeletal Muscle to Exercise23 Resistance Exercise and Testosterone24 Exercise Response of -Endorphin and Cortisol: Implications on Immune Function25 Neuroendocrine Modulation of the Immune System with Exercise and Muscle Damage26 The Impact of Exercise on Immunity: the Role of NeuroendocrineImmune Communications27 Exercise Regulation of Insulin Action in Skeletal Muscle28 Hormone and Exercise-Induced Modulation of Bone metabolism29 Diet and Hormonal Responses: Potential Impact on Body Composition30 Neurohumoral Responses and Adaptations During Rest and Exercise at Altitude31 Neuroendocrine Influences on Temperature Regulation in Hot Environments32 Alterations in Arginine Vasopressin with Exercise, Environmental Stress and Other Modifying Factors33 Human Endocrine Responses to ExerciseCold Stress34 Growth, Maturation and Hormonal Changes During Puberty: Influence of Sport Training35 Effects of Testosterone and Related Androgens on Athletic Performance in Men36 Growth Hormone and Sport37 Endocrinology of Overtraining38 Endocrinology of Sport Competition
