“…The researchers have noted that greater responses in muscle growth can be stimulated by combining Mechano-growth factor or IGF 1 with strength conditioning programs or other anabolic activities [4]. Furthermore, Ganguly [5] has shown that GH can stimulate the construction of some small proteins called somatomedin (IGF 1, 2) by the liver and some other tissues. These proteins can increase all aspects of growth in a way similar to the influence of insulin on growth that is why they are called growth factors.…”

AIM: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of a resistance training program for 8 weeks on IGF1, gene expression, and physical performance in male student-athletes. METHODS: The population of this study was 20 male students divided to two equal groups. The parameters estimated were IGF1, gene expression, and muscle strength testing. Blood was drawn to verify the concentration of the variables, using kits and Elisa method in addition to the PCR technique. RESULTS: The results revealed that a significant increase in IGF1, gene expression was different between students. Furthermore, muscle strength testing revealed significant changes. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that resistance training program may impact fitness and muscle strength as well the anabolic activity through IGF1 increase accompanied by varied gene expressions.
