High-affinity growth hormone binding protein and acute heavy resistance exercise.

What Was Tested

This controlled clinical trial looks at Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over).

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of resistance training on circulating concentrations of growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in response to acute heavy resistance exercise.

Who Took Part

PubMed indexes the participants as adults, men only.

Using a cross-sectional experimental design, a group of resistance-trained men (RT, N=9, 7.9+/-1.3 yr resistance training experience) and a group of untrained men (UT, N=10) performed an acute heavy resistance exercise protocol (AHREP) consisting of 6 sets of 10 repetition maximum parallel squats.

How the Study Was Run

The design is described as parallel-group.

The Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) group and the comparison group ran side by side rather than switching.

Blood samples were obtained 72 h before exercise, immediately before exercise, and 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after exercise.

What Was Measured

The subject headings attached to it are Adaptation, Physiological, Blood Glucose, Carrier Proteins, Cross-Sectional Studies, Energy Intake, Exercise and Human Growth Hormone.
