Abstract:
Although a number of recent reviews have focused on the effects of exercise and sports on menstrual function, minimal emphasis has been placed on how the breast is affected. Increasing numbers of female athletes are participating in previously male-dominated contact sports; the effect on overall breast health from medium-to-high impact activities remains to be seen. This article reviews the basic anatomy and embryology of breast tissue, outlines various problems of the breast that the adolescent athlete may encounter, and offers management strategies for such problems.

Ethical Issues
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:
Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
