Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical exercise has been the focus of attention of many scientific investigations in the last few decades. It has demonstrated anticancer effects, antidiabetic effects, improvement in neurological conditions, and a key role in metabolic syndrome. Many of these effects are due to hormonal and receptor modifications, directly induced by physical activity, which is able to alter various endocrine pathways—from energy balance, substrate metabolism, regulation of fluid homeostasis, to effects of exercise on puberty, menstrual cycle, menopause and growth.
The goal of this Special Issue is to summarize, in a unified manner, the hormonal modifications induced by different intensities and types of exercise, their benefits, and eventual risks, introducing the latest advances in the underlying molecular mechanisms of hormonal action, and possibly identifying specific training regimens to optimize a number of medical conditions, as well as improving heath in general.
