"GH accelerates body fat loss, exerts anabolic effects and improves GH secretion."

"GH secretory response to exercise is related to exercise intensity"

"duration of a bout of maximal sprint exercise determines the magnitude of the hGH response"

"We conclude that a positive relationship exists between exercise intensity and both CHO(carbohydrates) expenditure during exercise and fat expenditure during recovery and that the increase in fat expenditure during recovery with higher exercise intensities is related to GH release."

"In a great many cases, the impact of some of the deleterious effects of aging could be reduced if exercise focused on promoting the EIGR. This review examines the current knowledge and proposed mechanisms for the EIGR, the physiological consequences of endurance, strength and power training on the EIGR and its potential effects in elderly populations, including the aged athlete."

"Total physical activity and vigorous activities showed the strongest reductions in CHD risk. Moderate and light activities, which may be less precisely measured, showed nonsignificant inverse associations. The association between physical activity and a reduced risk of CHD also extends to men with multiple coronary risk factors."

"On the basis of associations observed in this study, we estimate that current patterns of overweight and obesity in the United States could account for 14 percent of all deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of those in women. CONCLUSIONS: Increased body weight was associated with increased death rates for all cancers combined and for cancers at multiple specific sites"

".after total energy expended on physical activity and potential confounders was accounted for, duration no longer had an independent effect on CHD risk (P: trend=0.25); that is, longer sessions of exercise did not have a different effect on risk compared with shorter sessions, as long as the total energy expended was similar."

"Each 1-MET increase in exercise capacity conferred a 12 percent improvement in survival. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise capacity is a more powerful predictor of mortality among men than other established risk factors for cardiovascular disease."

"CONCLUSION: PT, especially high-intensity PT, had a favorable effect on several IRS markers in obese adolescents."

"Total carbohydrate oxidation (exercise plus post exercise period) was significantly higher for HIE (high intensity)"

"A minimum duration of 10 min, high-intensity exercise consistently increased circulating GH in adult males."
