Description
This valuable new addition to the Encyclopaedia of SportsMedicine series provides a comprehensive and logical look atthe principles and mechanisms of endocrinology as related to sportsand exercise. It looks at growth hormone factors involved inexercise and the endocrinology of sport competition.
It considers various factors and stresses on the body that mayalter sporting performance. It covers topics from the acuteresponses and chronic adaptations of the human endocrine system tothe muscular activity involved in conditioning exercise, physicallabor, and sport activities.
This book is an essential reference for helping to plan betterprograms of physical fitness, to prepare for sports competitions,and to manage the medical care of athletes.
