The hypothalamus (see Fig. 4.5) is the neural control center for all endocrine systems. It links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. Endocrinology is the branch of internal medicine that covers the endocrine system and its disorders.

Ovid, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry, and SPORTDiscus electronic databases were searched for studies from inception to March 10, 2021. In addition, a grey literature search of abstracts and conference proceedings from the Meeting of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes, ADA, the European Diabetes Congress, the World Congress on Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism, and the International Diabetes Federation Congress in the last five years was also carried out. The MeSH terms used were: [“diabetes mellitus, type 1” OR “type I” OR “type 1 diabetes” OR “juvenile diabetes” OR “insulin-dependent diabetes”] AND [“physical activity” OR “exercise” OR “exercises” OR “sport” OR “sports” OR “fitness” OR “training” OR “exercise therapy”]. Also, searches were limited to youth aged 5–18 years and RCTs. Cross-referencing was also used by examining the reference lists of articles that met the inclusion criteria. A librarian was consulted to supervise the quality of the search. The search strategy is described in detail in Supplementary data 1.

Our study has several strengths. It is the first study to assess salivary aldosterone and salivary cortisone changes during physically taxing, athletic competitions among juvenile boys utilizing LC–MS/MS methodology, while controlling for age, BMI, and PDS. LC–MS/MS is the most efficient and accurate hormone assay technique available and benefits by avoiding cross-reactivity issues (Mezzullo et al., 2018). These findings contribute to the endocrinology of competition, childhood development, and stress physiology literature by demonstrating that salivary aldosterone and salivary cortisone responses are context-dependent and sensitive to physical and psychosocial stressors of athletic competition in a non-Western urban sample of Hong Kongese boys (i.e., non-WEIRD). Lastly, all hormone data were collected in the late afternoon or early evenings, thus minimizing potential confounding effects related to diurnal changes of baseline adrenal hormone concentrations.

Medical specialty was self-reported in 2006, 2010, and 2015. In Finland, a medical specialist degree requires five to six years of medical practice, including at least nine months of service in public health centers, theoretical and administrative courses, and a passing grade on a national written exam. If they had more than one specialty, they were advised to report the most recent one. Specialties were categorized into 12 different specialties according to the classification used by FMA57: (1) Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine; (2) Surgery (including all surgeon sub-specialties); (3) Pediatrics (including Child neurology and Children's disease); (4) Obstetrics and Gynecology; (5) Psychiatry (including Child Psychiatry, Adolescent Psychiatry, and Forensic Psychiatry); (6) Radiology; (7) Internal Medicine and Oncology; (8) Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology; (9) Other specialties of Internal Medicine (e.g., Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Dermatology and Allergology); (10) Occupational Health; (11) General Practice; (12) Hospital Service Specialties (e.g., Clinical Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Clinical genetics). The most recent specialty between study intervals was chosen for analyses purposes.
