Growth Hormone Response Exercise

Meaning

Growth Hormone Response Exercise refers to the specific physical training protocols intentionally designed to acutely stimulate the pulsatile secretion of Growth Hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. These regimens typically involve high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or resistance training with specific parameters of volume, intensity, and short rest periods. The goal is to maximize the physiological stimulus for endogenous GH release, leveraging its potent anabolic, lipolytic, and regenerative effects for improved body composition and tissue repair. This approach is a cornerstone of exercise endocrinology.
