Neuromuscular, hormonal and molecular responses to heavy resistance training in strength trained men : with special reference to various resistance e…

2006

The present study was designed to obtain more information on mechanisms leading to muscle hypertrophy by determination of the effects of different heavy resistance exercise protocols on acute and chronic neuromuscular and hormonal responses in previously strength trained young men. The present study also examined gene expression of androgen receptors and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) to further understand the adaptation mechanisms to resistance training. The present results suggest that increased resistance exercise intensity induced by the so-called forced repetitions (FR) exercise system may be beneficial for the development of muscle mass and muscle strength during strength traini…
