Performing resistance exercise before versus after aerobic exercise influences growth hormone secretion in type 1 diabetes.

What Was Tested

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

The researchers compared growth hormone (GH) and plasma glucose (PG) levels in type 1 diabetic individuals performing aerobic before resistance exercise (AR) to when resistance exercise was performed first (RA).

In AR, GH secretion declined in late exercise while it rose throughout exercise in RA, resulting in higher GH in RA versus AR at exercise completion.

Who Took Part

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, both men and women.

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized and crossover study.

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.

In the crossover set-up each of the participants took both Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) and the comparison in turn, acting as their own control.

What Was Measured

The researchers compared growth hormone (GH) and plasma glucose (PG) levels in type 1 diabetic individuals performing aerobic before resistance exercise (AR) to when resistance exercise was performed first (RA).
