The purpose of this study was to ascertain if a relationship existed between plasma somatomedin C (SmC) level, as an indicator of growth hormone secretion, and muscle performance. Eighteen community-dwelling men between the ages of 65 and 80 comprised the sample group. Muscle strength, power and endurance were measured isokinetically on the elbow flexors and extensors and on the knee flexors and extensors. No relationship was found between plasma SmC levels and measures of muscle performance (P greater than 0.05). The limitations of this study as well as suggestions for future studies were discussed. Further research is needed to assess the effects of growth hormone on muscle performance.
本研究的目的是确定作为生长激素分泌指标的血浆生长调节素C（SmC）水平与肌肉性能之间是否存在关联。样本组由18名年龄在65岁至80岁之间的社区男性组成。通过等速运动测量了肘部屈肌和伸肌以及膝部屈肌和伸肌的肌肉力量、功率和耐力。未发现血浆SmC水平与肌肉性能指标之间存在关联（P大于0.05）。讨论了本研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。需要进一步研究以评估生长激素对肌肉性能的影响。
