Exercise and Neuroendocrinology
摘要
The intent of this chapter is to provide a basic overview and explanation of the neuroendocrine system responses to an exercise session in healthy adults. Specifically, the physiologic mechanisms for inducing the hormonal responses of this system and the scope of such responses are addressed. Additionally, factors that augment or attenuate exercise hormonal responses are presented as well as issues related to sex differences, and exercise-related hormonal dysfunction.
