From the book reviews:
“This is an update of a comprehensive book … that reviews our understanding of the interactions between physical activity and the endocrine system. … The target audience includes clinicians prescribing exercise for patients and caring for patients who are athletes, as well as scientists investigating metabolism or the impact of physical activity on endocrine axes. … This is a comprehensive and valuable reference that is well organized and generally well written.” (Celeste Thomas, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2013)()
