Coping with Physical Activity and Inactivity
There is an impressive variation in activity and inactivity patterns among animal species, which illustrates the difficulties of generalising findings from one species to another. Oxidative stress appears to be a ubiquitous consequence of physical effort

Preface
Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we have seen the merger of laboratory-based biochemical and physiological approaches to the study of oxidative stress and hormetic mechanisms with ethological, ecological and evolutionary principles. Although research in this area is still in its infancy, many new fields of resea
