Effect of Resistance Training on Musculoskeletal Endocrine Interactions
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Musculoskeletal and Metabolic Crosstalk
In brief
This project will evaluate the impact of resistance training on the synthesis and release of hormones and growth factors from the musculoskeletal system and the extent to which the communicative capacity influences glucose homeostasis In turn, the contribution of glucose regulation on the musculoskeletal system will also be evaluated. This small study will serve as a pilot/feasibility study to define a protocol for implementation of a resistance training intervention in the pediatric population. To establish feasibility, this study population is limited to overweight African American boys ages 7-11 years. In light of well-established accolades of resistance training, historical recommendations for avoidance among the pediatric population have deterred implementation of resistance training interventions in young adolescents. However, contemporary data indicating a profound benefit of resistance training to the skeletal system in pre-adolescents has led to the Academy of Sports Medicine, as well as various other pediatric health interest groups, to support supervised programs incorporating resistance training in young children, emphasizing large muscle and core strengthening. To date, such trials have not been conducted in the pediatric population
