Abstract
Exercise is a stressor, and living organisms respond differently to various exercise patterns. This chapter describes one such biological response, the response patterns of the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems with a focus on stress hormones. Exercise-related accidents, especially in relation to the abnormal secretion of stress hormones that leads to chronic fatigue and sleep deprivation and which may cause sudden death, are also discussed.
