Effects of training on the exercise-induced changes in serum amino acids and hormones.
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2002 August
The purpose of this study was to examine power-type athletes to determine changes in amino acid and hormone concentrations in circulating blood following 2 different high-intensity exercise sessions before and after the 5-week training period. Eleven competitive male sprinters and jumpers performed 2 different running exercise sessions: a short run session (SRS) of 3 x 4 x 60 m (intensity of 91-95%) with recoveries of 120 and 360 seconds, and a long run session (LRS) with 20-second intervals (intensity of 56-100%) with recoveries of 100 seconds to exhaustion. The concentrations of serum amino acids, hormones, and lactate were determined from the blood samples drawn after an overnight fast and 10 minutes before and after both SRS and LRS. The average blood lactate concentrations were 12.7 +/- 1.6 mmol;pdL(-1) and 16.6 +/- 1.4 mmol;pdL(-1) (p < 0.01) following SRS and LRS, respectively. The average total running time was longer (p < 0.001) following LRS (164 +/- 20 seconds) than following SRS (91 +/- 8 seconds). The fasting levels of all amino acids decreased (p = 0.024; 19.4%) after the 5-week period, whereas an increase (p = 0.007; 24.5%) was observed in the fasting concentration of testosterone (TE). The exercise sessions induced no changes in the total sum of all amino acids, but significant increases or decreases were observed in single amino acids. When the range of the relative concentration changes before and after the training period was compared, significant decreases were found in valine (p = 0.048), asparagine (p = 0.029), and taurine (p = 0.030) following SRS. There were significant increases in the absolute hormonal concentration changes following LRS with TE (p = 0.002; 30.4%), cortisol (COR; p = 0.006; 12.0%), and in the TE/COR ratio (p = 0.047; 21.0%) but not in the concentration of growth hormone (GH). The results of the study indicate that the speed and strength training period strongly decreases the fasting concentrations of amino acids in the power-trained athletes in a good anabolic state with the daily protein intake of 1.26 g;pdkg(-1) body weight. At the same time the intensive lactic exercise session induces strong decreases, especially in valine, asparagine, and taurine.
