Biochemical characteristics
±
Prior to conducting the training program, no significant inter-group differences were observed in any of the measured biochemical values (Effects of acute and chronic resistance training on the levels of blood markers. a, AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; b, PGC-1α, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α; c, irisin; d, IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1; e, MSTN, myostatin. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, Pre vs. Acute difference within group; & p < 0.05, Acute difference between groups; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, Post vs. Pre difference within group. All data are represented as means ± SD. TRT, traditional resistance training; FRT, functional resistance training.Time × group interaction (The serum levels of irisin and IGF-1 were significantly increased following acute and chronic resistance training in both groups (
