Why the study?
Do different exercise-testing protocols affect plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations in healthy trained men?
Do different exercise-testing protocols affect plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations in healthy trained men?
Short-term maximal exercise significantly increases plasma ANP concentrations, while intermittent exercise forms with active or passive recovery decrease ANP concentrations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Acute maximal exercise raises ANP in trained men; leaves open protocol effects in clinical populations.
Mandroukas et al. (2010) studied this question.
