E-41 Free Communication/Poster-Injury Risk Assessment and Readiness to Return to Sport

CONCLUSIONS: Resistance training impacts both the BGH and IGH secretion patterns from the anterior pituitary gland. IGH is acutely increased in response to resistance training in women, with an even higher response in trained women. BGH is chronically higher in trained women than untrained, but shows no response with acute resistance training. These findings may be more responsible for GH’s role in chronic resistance training adaptations.
