Gender governs the relationship between exercise intensity and growth hormone release in young adults.

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over), published as a randomized controlled trial.

To investigate the effects of gender and exercise intensity on GH release, eight women (24.3 +/- 1.3 yr, 171 +/- 3.2 cm height, 63.6 +/- 8.7 kg weight) were each tested on six randomly ordered occasions [1 control condition (C), 5 exercise conditions (Ex)].

To test for gender differences, data in women were compared with the previously published data in men.

Why It Was Studied

Integrated GH concentrations (IGHC) were calculated by trapezoidal reconstruction.

A Wilcoxon ranked-sums two-tailed test was used to analyze the slopes and intercepts from the regression models.

Who Took Part

By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were teenagers and adults, women only.

How the Study Was Run

The design is described as randomized.

The participants were allocated by chance, so the Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) group and the comparison group should start out alike.

Serum GH concentrations were measured in samples obtained at 10-min intervals between 0700 and 0900 (baseline) and 0900 and 1300 (Ex + recovery or C).

What Was Measured

A Wilcoxon ranked-sums two-tailed test was used to analyze the slopes and intercepts from the regression models.
