This book reviews all common issues relative to gynecologic and reproductive problems in the physically active woman. Since women face different problems depending on their age and hormone status, this book also presents a review of the normal physiology. The latter is very important because minor deviations from normal can occur in competitive situations and may be upsetting to athletes. Rational plans for advising and managing athlete patients are based on current knowledge and the authors' own experience derived from extensive clinical practice. This book provides practical information to health-care providers, coaches, trainers and athletes. It will also inspire researchers to provide even more answers to questions in the growing field of sports science and medicine.
