This study examined acute hormone and recovery responses to resistance exercise with slow movement. Six men performed three types of exercise regimens (five sets of knee extension exercise): (1) high-intensity resistance exercise with normal movement (HN; 1 s for lifting action, 1 s for lowering action), (2) low-intensity resistance exercise with slow movement (LS; 3 s for lifting action, 3 s for lowering action), and (3) low-intensity resistance exercise with normal movement (LN; 1 s for lifting action, 1 s for lowering action). The intensity in the first set was set at approximately 80% of 1RM for HN, 40% of 1RM for LS and LN. In the HN and LS, subjects performed each exercise set until exhaustion. In the LN, both intensity and number of repetitions were matched with those for LS. The total work volume in the HN showed approximately double the value of LS and LN (P < 0.05). Electromyography (EMG) data indicated that LS showed sustained EMG signals throughout the exercise. During the exercise, the HN and LS showed lower muscle oxygenation levels. After the exercise, LS caused significantly greater norepinephrine and free testosterone responses (delta value) than in the HN and LN (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in recovery of maximal isometric, isokinetic strengths, and jump performance between the HN and LS. These results indicate that slow movement during the resistance exercise is important for enhancements of hormonal responses especially catecholamine and free testosterone but does not affect muscle strength recovery.
