Hormones are largely responsible for the integrated communication of several physiological
systems responsible for modulating cellular growth and development. Although the specific …

Maintenance of skeletal muscle mass throughout the life course is key for the regulation of
health, with physical activity a critical component of this, in part, due to its influence upon key …

The aim of this review is to highlight two emerging concepts for the elite athlete using the
resistance-training model:(i) the short-term effects of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) on the …

Testosterone supplementation acts via numerous mechanisms as a highly potent anabolic
agent to skeletal muscle. Although growth hormone (GH) strongly affects collagen synthesis …

Testosterone is one of the most potent naturally secreted androgenicanabolic hormones,
and its biological effects include promotion of muscle growth. In muscle, testosterone …

The endocrine system has profound regulatory effects within the human body and thus the
ability to control and maintain appropriate function within many physiological systems (ie …

The complexity and redundancy of the endocrine pathways during recovery related to
anabolic function in the body belie an oversimplistic approach to its study. The purpose of …

Resistance exercise has been shown to elicit a significant acute hormonal response. It
appears that this acute response is more critical to tissue growth and remodelling than …

The endocrine system plays an important role in strength and power development by
mediating the remodelling of muscle protein. Resistance training scheme design regulates …

Research in exercise endocrinology has flourished over the past few decades. In general,
research examining short-and long-term hormone responses to endurance exercise …
