Abstract: | Kanaley, J. A., J. Y. Weltman, J. D. Veldhuis, A. D. Rogol,M. L. Hartman, and A. Weltman. Human growth hormone response torepeated bouts of aerobic exercise. J. Appl.Physiol. 83(5): 1756-1761, 1997.We examinedwhether repeated bouts of exercise could override growth hormone (GH)auto-negative feedback. Seven moderately trained men were studied onthree occasions: a control day (C), a sequential exercise day (SEB; at1000, 1130, and 1300), and a delayed exercise day (DEB; at 1000, 1400, and 1800). The duration of each exercise bout was 30 min at 70%maximal O2 consumption (O2 max) on a cycleergometer. Standard meals were provided at 0600 and 2200. GH wasmeasured every 5-10 min for 24 h (0800-0800). Daytime(0800-2200) integrated GH concentrations were ~150-160% greater during SEB and DEB than during C: 1,282 ± 345, 3,192 ± 669, and 3,389 ± 991 min · µg · l1for C, SEB, and DEB, respectively [SEB > C(P < 0.06), DEB > C(P < 0.03)]. There were nodifferences in GH release during sleep (2300-0700). Deconvolutionanalysis revealed that the increase in 14-h integrated GH concentrationon DEB was accounted for by an increase in the mass of GH secreted perpulse (per liter of distribution volume,lv): 7.0 ± 2.9 and 15.9 ± 2.6 µg/lv for C and DEB,respectively (P < 0.01). Comparisonof 1.5-h integrated GH concentrations on the SEB and DEB days (30 minexercise + 60 min recovery) revealed that, with each subsequentexercise bout, GH release apparently increased progressively, with aslightly greater increase on the DEB day [SEB vs. DEB: 497 ± 162 vs. 407 ± 166 (bout 1), 566 ± 152 vs. 854 ± 184 (bout2), and 633 ± 149 vs. 1,030 ± 352 min · µg · l1(bout 3),P < 0.05]. We conclude thatthe GH response to acute aerobic exercise is augmented with repeatedbouts of exercise. |
