abstract

growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 are anabolic hormones which play a vital role in developing body tracts especially in childhood and adolescence years. exercise is a motive which influences gh and igf-1 secretion. today, water sports are highly recommended due to creating delight in children. therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of water training on rest levels of growth hormone (gh) and insulin-like growth factor (igf-1) in male children. 18 non-athlete boys (mean ± sd age: 10.2±2 yrs, weight: 26.5±3 kg, height: 130.9±6 cm) were randomly assigned to experimental (n=10) or control (n=8) groups. first, fasting blood samples were gathered to measure gh and igf-1. experimental group participated in 8 weeks of water training with intensity of 70-80% hrmax for 3 sessions per week and 1 hour per session. control group did not participate in any exercise. blood samples were collected again after last session of training to assess serum gh and igf-1. dependent and independent t tests were used to analyze data. the results showed no significant effect of 8 weeks of water training on gh and igf-1 serum concentration (p>0.05) while a significant increase was observed in gh and igf-1 after 8 weeks in control group. in addition, there was a significant difference in gh and igf-1 secretion between the two groups after 8 weeks (p

The Effect of 8 Weeks Resistance Training With Low Load and High Load on Testosterone, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 Levels, and Functional Adaptations in Older Women

Objectives The loss of muscle mass in older adults is attributed to the impaired ability of the skeletal muscle in response to anabolic stimuli and the increased activation of the proteolytic signaling pathway. With increasing age, plasma concentrations of circulating anabolic hormones and growth factors, e.g. testosterone, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Bin...
