Hormonal Responses of Multiset Versus Single-Set Heavy-Resistance Exercise Protocols

Publication: Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology
June 1997

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare serum growth hormone (GH), testosterone (T), cortisol (C) and whole blood lactate (L) responses to single set (1S) versus multiple set (3S) heavy-resistance exercise protocols. Eight recreationally weight-trained men completed two identical resistance exercise workouts (1S vs. 3S). Blood was obtained prexcerise (PRE), immediately postexercise (0P), and 5 min (5P), 15 min (15P), 30 min and 60 min (60P) postexercise and was analyzed for GH, T, C, and L levels. For 1S and 3S, GH, L, and T significantly increased from PRE to 0P and remained significantly elevated to 60P, except for 1S. For GH, T, and L, 3S showed significantly greater increases compared to 1S. For C, 3S and 1S were increased significantly from resting at 0P, 5P, and 15P; 3S increased compared to 1S at 5P, 15P and 30P. Higher volumes of total work produce significantly greater increases in circulating anabolic hormones during the recovery phase following exercise. Key words: growth hormone, testosterone, cortisol, lactate, strength

Résumé

Le but de l'étude est de comparer les concentrations sanguines de lactate (L) et sériques d'hormone de croissance (GH), de testostérone (T), de cortisol (C) au cours d'une seule série (1S) et de plusieurs séries (3S) d'exercices de musculation. Huit jeunes hommes habitués à la musculation participent à deux séances de musculation (1S vs. 3S). Les séances sont constituées d'exercices qui mobilisent tout te corps. Pour la mesure de la concentration de GH, de T, de C, et de L, des échantillons de sang sont prélevés avant (PRE), immédiatement après (0P), et 5 min (5P), 15 min (15P), 30 min (30P), et 60 min (60P) après la fin des exercices. À l'une et l'autre des séances, les valeurs de GH, L, et T augmentent significativement de PRE à 0P et, sauf à la séance 1S, demeurent plus importantes qu'au repos jusqu'à 60P; les augmentations sont significativement plus importantes au cours de la séance 3S. Au cours des deux séances, les valeurs de C augmentent significativement de PRE à 0P, 15P, et 30P; les valeurs au cours de la séance 3S sont plus importantes à 5P, 15P, et 30P. Une plus grande quantité de travail amène plus d'hormones anabolisantes en circulation au cours de la période de récupération. Mots-clés: hormone de croissance, testostérone, cortisol, lactate, force musculaire
