We investigated the joint impact of age, gender, and exercise intensity on growth hormone (GH) secretion. At a university center, nine young men, eight young women, seven older men, and six older women were each tested on six randomly ordered occasions [control (C) and 5 exercise conditions (Ex)]. Serum GH concentrations were measured by immunochemiluminometry [10-min samples: 0700-0900 (baseli...

Evaluation of The Acute Hormonal Responses To Concentric, Eccentric And Concentric_ Eccentric Muscle Actions in Healthy Young Men Introduction: Resistance exercise is a potent stimulus for acute increase in the concentrations of circulating hormones such as Growth Hormone (GH) and Testosterone. Conventional resistance exercise is performed using sequential concentric (CON) and eccentric (EC...

Background: Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation in obese subjects, which leads to an increase of inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different intensity circuit resistance training on levels of interleukin 1 beta and interleukin-10 in obese men. Methods: In a semi-experimental trial during May to August 2020, 44 obese men from Tehran city were selecte...

background resistance exercise is recommended as a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (t2d); however, the frequency of studies is inadequate to establish the precise mechanisms of any association between them. objectives in this study, we aimed to assess the effect of three months of resistance training on tcf7l2 expression in pancreatic tissues, serum insulin and gluc...

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that leg blood flow responses during leg cycle ergometry are reduced with age in healthy non-estrogen-replaced women. Thirteen younger (20-27 yr) and thirteen older (61-71 yr) normotensive, non-endurance-trained women performed both graded and constant-load bouts of leg cycling at the same absolute exercise intensities. Leg blood flow ...

“KAATSU Training”, was first made available for public use in Japan.1 Since then, numerous studies have examined the effects of BFR resistance exercise on skeletal muscle hypertrophy and strength gains, as well as on neural, endocrine, and cardiovascular responses. The novelty of BFR resistance exercise is that relatively low exercise intensities (e.g. 20% of one-repetition maximum, 1-RM) can b...
