Abstract Schoenfeld, BJ. Postexercise hypertrophic adaptations: A reexamination of the hormone hypothesis and its applicability to resistance training program design. J Strength Cond Res 27(6): 1720–1730, 2013—It has been well documented in the literature that resistance training can promote marked increases in skeletal muscle mass. Postexercise hypertrophic adaptations are mediated by a complex enzymatic cascade whereby mechanical tension is molecularly transduced into anabolic and catabolic…

Are acute post-resistance exercise increases in testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF-1 necessary to stimulate skeletal muscle anabolism and hypertrophy?

Post-RE increases in testosterone (T) and growth hormone (GH) will also imply increases in insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (22,24) and the discussion of these adaptations to men is limited, while recognizing that training variables such as training history, mode, intensity, volume, and rest interval (RI) length in between sets will have compelling influence on the hormonal responses to RE.

Endocrinological Roles for Testosterone in Resistance Exercise Responses and Adaptations
- Biology, MedicineSports Medicine

Testosterone has also been shown to acutely rise immediately following an acute resistance exercise bout, which does not seem to be necessary for resistance training adaptations to occur, but whether this response optimizes such adaptations has not yet been determined.
Acute elevations in serum hormones are attenuated after chronic training with traditional isoinertial but not accentuated eccentric loads in strength‐trained men
- BiologyPhysiological reports
- 2017
The maintenance of acute hormonal responses and continued strength gain in AEL but not ISO are consistent with the hypothesis that maintained acute responses indicate an efficacy of a training stimulus to evoke ongoing adaptation.
The Effect of Inter-Set Rest Intervals on Resistance Exercise-Induced Muscle Hypertrophy
- BiologySports Medicine

The literature does not support the hypothesis that training for muscle hypertrophy requires shorter rest intervals than training for strength development or that predetermined rest intervals are preferable to auto-regulated rest periods in this regard.

Although no significant differences were observed between the two interventions in relation to the hormonal and metabolic parameters analyzed, both training methods promoted a favorable response, with a slight superiority noted for the CI method relative to theormonal profile.

Hormonal Responses and Adaptations to Resistance Exercise and Training

It appears that this acute response to resistance exercise is more critical to tissue growth and remodelling than chronic changes in resting hormonal concentrations, as many studies have not shown a significant change during resistance training despite increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy.
Elevations in ostensibly anabolic hormones with resistance exercise enhance neither training-induced muscle hypertrophy nor strength of the elbow flexors.

It is concluded that exposure of loaded muscle to acute exercise-induced elevations in endogenous anabolic hormones enhances neither muscle hypertrophy nor strength with resistance training in young men.

In conclusion, unilateral training induced local muscle hypertrophy only in the exercised limb, which occurred in the absence of changes in systemic hormones that ostensibly play a role in musclehypertrophy.

Resistance training had no effect on resting serum hormone concentrations, whereas similar acute exercise responses occurred between the 10th and 20th training sessions, in conclusion.

The transient increases in endogenous purportedly anabolic hormones do not enhance fed‐state anabolic signalling or MPS following resistance exercise and local mechanisms are likely to be of predominant importance for the post‐exercise increase in MPS.

The data indicate that the release patterns observed are complex functions of the type of HREPs utilized and the physiological mechanisms involved with determining peripheral circulatory concentrations (e.g., clearance rates, transport, receptor binding).

The data from the training study demonstrate that exercise-induced increases in GH and testosterone availability are not necessary for and do not enhance strength and hypertrophy adaptations, and lead us to conclude that local mechanisms that are intrinsic to the skeletal muscle tissue performing the resistive contractions are predominant in stimulating anabolism.
