TL;DR: The present chapter will focus on sex difference in tendon injury risk, tendon morphology and tendon collagen turnover, but also on the specific effects of estrogen and androgens.

TL;DR: In conclusion, neural and humoral mechanisms exert redundant control with regard to responses of catecholamines and pituitary hormones (growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone) in contrast, neural input from motor centers and feedback from working muscle are important for glucose production and lipolysis during exercise in humans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that within 5 weeks of training, no further adaptation of hormonal exercise responses takes place if intensity is increased above 70% O2max, and hypoxia per se does not add to the training-induced hormonal responses to exercise.

TL;DR: This work presents for the first time muscle protein turnover signaling in critically ill ICU patients, and shows signaling pathway activity towards a stimulation of muscle protein synthesis and a somewhat inhibited proteolysis.

TL;DR: Results from this study demonstrate that restoration of the distal vasti muscle mass and knee extension muscle strength with resistance training is promoted further by protein‐containing nutrient supplementation immediately after single exercise sessions.
