The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement on exercise performance. GH replacement in GH-deficient adults exerts clear effects on body composition, but there is a lack of high-quality evidence concerning its functional effects.

The reviewers searched MEDLINE and reference lists of included studies and relevant review articles. They selected 11 randomized, double blind, placebo controlled studies that provided data pertaining to patient numbers, study design, GH dose, age, IGF-I levels, and exercise variables (maximal oxygen uptake and maximal power output).

Growth hormone replacement was associated with significant improvement in maximal power output and maximal oxygen uptake. There was no association between age or GH dose on the degree of improvement.

The reviewers concluded that there is strong evidence that growth hormone replacement improves exercise performance in GH-deficient patients. This evidence should be considered when decisions are made regarding prescription of GH.
