Reviews
"""...this book provides a world view of recent developments in sports endocrinology, with invited contributions from leading authorities in 12 nations...A welcome feature is an extended discussion of the exercising female, with chapters exploring hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, pregnancy and the menopause. There are also chapters looking at hormonal aspects of overtraining, exercise at high altitude, exercise and mood state, and circadian rhythms...The material should prove a valuable resource for all who are concerned with the impact of hormones upon acute and chronic responses to exercise, and this could serve as a useful text for a graduate course in sports endocrinology..."" -Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology ""...the stated objectives of the text are worthy, and the editors have met those objectives...the editors have done a fine job of assembling many of the outstanding figures in the field to write chapters...This is a very valuable book. The underlying subject -- the impact of exercise on endocrinology -- is interesting and important to both the clinician and the exercise scientist. There is a real need for a book that is a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the scientific findings concerning the interaction of exercise and the endocrine system. Weighted Numerical Score: 91 - 4 Stars!"" -Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal ""...this book provides a good read for those interested in endocrinology and those interested in exercise. There has been a distinct need for a book in this subdiscipline, since endocrinology and exercise science e are growing so rapidly. This textbook is long overdue. A competent understanding of exercise and endocrinology are important for the successful integration of the two areas. Sports Endocrinology meets the need."" -The Lancet ""...this text represents a valuable and relatively comprehensive overview of the area. It will be very useful to clinicians who treat their patients with exercise or have patients who are athletes...In summary, this is a fine book that is generally well written and well organized. It is compendium of information concerning many of the important areas of exercise endocrinology. The book is replete with interesting information not available in other single source. It would be a valuable book for clinicians who prescribe or recommend exorcise for their patients, or who have patients who are athletes. It would also be very valuable to scientists and their graduate students who study endocrinological and metabolic aspects of exercise."" -Elsevier Science ""The book is impressive in scope, organization, content, and clarity. In short, this is a book with very useful, carefully crafted chapters that can indeed inform several groups of readers. It is a comprehensive review of the endocrine response to exercise and the effect on the body with up-to-date references. Sports Endocrinology is the new standard reference book."" -American Journal of Medicine and Sports ""This is a comprehensive review volume describing in 24 chapters the physiological effects of physical activity on the endocrine system. Some of the topics will be of special interest to pediatric endocrinologists, such as: The effect of exercise on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal-axis; Exercise and the growth hormone-IGF-I axis; Diabetes and exercise; Role of exercise in the attainment of peak bone mass and bone strength; Exercise and the developing child (interaction with growth). Well referenced. Of interest to pediatricians, endocrinologists, sports physicians and training coaches."" -Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism"
