The study looked at how different types of exercise affect growth hormone (GH), IGF-1 (a protein), and health problems related to metabolism in middle-aged women.
Participants were divided into groups that did either aerobic exercises (like walking and aerobics), combined exercises (walking and weight training), or no exercise at all.
The results showed that combined exercise helped improve GH levels and some health markers, but the change in GH didn't connect to other metabolic health issues.
