Bueno el propósito de este estudio fue examinar el efecto de una serie adicional inmediatamente después de un ejercicio de alta intensidad en respuesta a la hormona de crecimiento. El método fue el siguiente.
8 sujetos realizaron 4 protocolos de ejercicios distintos con resistencia en días separados.
Protocolo 1 (S-type) consistía de 5 series con 90% de 1RM y 3’ de descanso
Protocolo 2: lo mismo que el protocolo 1 pero agrega al final una serie con el 50% de 1RM
Protocolo 3: lo mismo que el protocolo 1 pero agrega al final una serie con el 70% de 1RM
Protocolo 4: lo mismo que el protocolo 1 pero agrega al final una serie con el 90% de 1RM.
La concentraciones de hormona de crecimiento fueron determinadas antes y entre 0-60 minutos posteriores al ejercicios.
Resultados:
El incremento de valores en la concentración de hormona de crecimiento en el protocolo 1 fue el mas bajo de todos. Por otro lado, el incremento en los valores de hormona de crecimiento en el protocolo 2 fue significativamente mas alto que el protocolo 1 y 4 y relativamente mas alto que el protocolo 3.

AIM: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of an additional set immediately following high intensity resistance exercise on growth hormone (GH) response. METHODS: Subjects (n=8) performed 4 resistance exercise protocols (bilateral knee extension exercise) on separate days. The protocols were categorized into 2 types of protocol, namely "Strength-up type (S-type)" and "Combination type (Combi-type)". The S-type was resistance exercise which consisted of 5 sets at 90% of 1 repetition maximum (RM) with 3-min rest periods between sets, whereas the Combi-type is a training protocol which adds an additional set (either 50% of 1 RM [C50-type], 70% of 1 RM [C70-type] or 90% of 1 RM [C90-type]) to the S-type. Serum GH concentration and blood lactate concentration were determined pre-exercise and at 0-60 min postexercise. Relative changes in thigh girth and maximal unilateral isometric strength were determined pre-exercise and immediately postexercise. RESULTS: The increasing values of GH concentration (DGH) in the S-type was the lowest of all protocols. On the other hand, DGH in the C50-type showed a significantly (p<0.05) higher increase than in the S-type and C90-type, and a relatively higher increase than in the C70-type. CONCLUSION: These results suggests that a high intensity, low volume training protocol to induce neural adaptation resulted in little GH response, but GH secretion was increased by performing a single set of low intensity resistance exercise at the end of a series of high intensity resistance sets.
