The influence of exercise training on anabolic hormones is especially important for growth and development in childhood years. The aim of this study was determine effect of 8 weeks of swimming training on secretion of growth hormone in 9-11 years old boys. To test the research hypothesis, the people who were willing to cooperate with the investigator randomly assigned to experimental group (n=15: age: 9.33±0.30, height: 130.46±7.53, weight: 27.04±7.39) and control group (n=15: age: 9.39±0.39, height: 133.53±7.52, weight: 27.15±4.92). Experimental group participated in 8 weeks swimming training with intensity of 45-65% HRmax for 3 times per week and 1 hour per session. During this time control group did not participate in this protocol and continue to routine activity. Fasting blood sample were collected 48 hours before and after of 8 weeks swimming training to assess serum growth hormone. 8 weeks swimming training led to significant increase on growth hormone in experimental group (P= 0.000). But increase growth hormone in control group not significant (P= 0.383). In result, 8 week of swimming training led to significant increase on secretion growth hormone in 9-11 years old boys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
