Exercise and Protein Metabolism

Exercise has been shown to have a profound influence on statural, hypertrophic, and reparative growth throughout the human life span in both men and women.1,2 Exercise can facilitate statural growth and provides the necessary mechanical and metabolic stimuli (through the secretion of GH and other anabolic hormones) that are necessary for hypertrophy of the musculoskeletal system and for reparative growth.3
