Abstract
The human body is a complex interaction of multiple systems, all working together to maintain homeostasis. It is impossible to discuss a single organ or organ system without considering its impact on other physiological systems. This is especially true for the effects of nutrition and strength training. Much of the impact of strength training is mediated through the endocrine and nervous systems, which are intricately linked with the immune system. It has been suggested that a single term, neuroendocrineimmunology, be used to show the essential integration of the three disciplines.
