| Abstract | ||
| Purpose. to prospectively elucidate the effect of resistance training program on growth hormone (GH), the insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1), lactate (LA), maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), pulse rate, muscle strength, and Digital Level in ten female swimming who underwent a resistance training program for 8 weeks. Methods. The participants underwent a one hour resistance-training program, three times per week, for 8 weeks. Results. The results of the present study showed an increase in GH and IGF-1 level; and VO2max Besides, the training program had a positive effect on Digital Level while LA level was decreased after the training program. Pulse rate was decreased. Conclusion, our study showed that a resistance training program positively affected the players' fitness and Digital Level, increased the muscular strength and provoked an increased GH and IGF-1. It is recommended to use a resistance-training program to increase the Digital Level of Swimmers. | ||
