Advanced Exercise Endocrinology is an essential reference for exercise physiologists, physiotherapists, and other health professionals researching the connections between exercise, hormone function, and health. The text offers an integrative perspective and includes the following unique features:

An emphasis on the effects of hormones during exercise in the context of biological functions of physiological events to help readers appreciate the complexity of hormonal response from a functional, whole-body perspective

A discussion of hormone actions in exercise with an emphasis on the mechanisms of action, wich is key to developing an advanced understanding of metabolism and somatic and physiological adaptations to training

A chapter that brings together current research on nonhormonal signaling in exercise, a topic not often presented in a comprehensive manner

An introduction to the principles of hormone measurements, which will be especially helpful to students considering a future in research
