Abstract: Ten eumenorrheic women (age 24.1 ± 4.3) performed 2 randomly
assigned heavy-resistance exercise protocols (HREP)
on separate days during the early follicular phase of the menstrual
cycle. Multiple-set (MS) HREP consisted of 3 sets of 10
RM of 8 resistance exercises with a I-min rest between exercises
and sets. Single-set (55) HREP consisted of 1 set of 10
RM of the same 8 exercises in the same order, with I-min rest
between consecutive exercises. 55 total work was about onethird
that of the MS. Immunoreactive serum growth hormone
(GH), cortisol, and blood lactate were measured pre- and
postexercise (0, 15, and 30 min). The MS produced significant
(p < 0.05) increases in serum GH and cortisol above resting
levels at all postexercise times. The 55 significantly increased
serum GH at 15 min postexercise, and cortisol at 0 and 15 min
postexercise. Both protocols yielded Significant increases in
blood lactate above rest at all postexercise times. The MS produced
the most significant hormonal and metabolic responses,
indicating that exercise volume may be an important factor
in hormonal and metabolic mechanisms related to resistance
exercise in women.
