The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of transiently elevated endogenous
hormone concentrations during exercise on strength training adaptations. Nine subjects
performed four unilateral strength training session per week on the elbow flexors for 11
weeks. During two of the weekly sessions, leg exercises were performed to acutely increase
the systemic anabolic hormone concentration immediately before the exercises for one of
the elbow flexors (L+ A). On the two other weekly training sessions, the contralateral elbow …
