The course aims to link the knowledge of physiology and pathology of the endocrinology discipline with the practice of sports, the understanding of the hormonal mechanisms that regulate physical exercise and the effects of physical exercise on the hormonal structure and on the main pathologies endocrine-metabolic.
At the end of the course, students will be trained on the following main fields of application:
- Hormones and endocrine pathologies caused by excessive or deficient hormonal action, with a focus on the role of hormones in exercise and hormonal changes during exercise;
- Obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome with a focus on the importance of physical exercise;
- Positive and negative effects of physical exercise on fertility and sexuality in males and females;
-Doping: definition, hormones and drugs used, positive and adverse effects on general health
