The role of HGH(Human Growth Hormone)in Soccer Rehabilitation…
As well covered in both the Soccer Rehab and Prehab/Rehab articles, professional Soccer Rehabilitation requires many things:
The correct Build-Up Rehabilitation Training, restoring perfect Flexibility and full ROM(Range Of Motion), Rehabilitory Therapy like deep-tissue massage and fascial-release, intelligent supplementation…
and optimizing the very most supportive Hormonal Response possible for the rehabilitation of injuries.
That Hormonal Response, or rather that specific hormone we are referring to here, is HGH, or Human Growth Hormone.
This amazing substance has many properties: Fat Burning is one of them. The one property interesting to us here though is this:
it helps the body to re-generate, it restores torn-down and injured tissues probably more effectively that anything else.
So it stands to reason that for optimal rehab-results you want to have as high growth hormone levels as only possible.
Let’s take a closer look at how we can achieve that; ethically, healthily and of course legally.
HGH, or Human Growth Hormone is definitely at least one of the very most important factors in staying younger, fitter and healthier for longer. It keeps you lean and recuperates the whole body.
It‘s major-purpose is not so much growth, even though it does that, too.
No, the main job of this awesome substance is to preserve muscle, burn fat… and to repair/regenerate tissues!
Interesting?
There‘s basically two ways to increase plasma HGH-Levels(HGH circulating in the blood)
1.To inject it
and
2.To increase your body‘s own production.
Number 1:
Injecting growth hormone: You need a prescription from the doctor, it is expensive and has some quite serious potential side-effects. So that method is rather questionable…
Number 2:
Fortunately, you can increase levels of this hormone naturally, and to quite an extreme extend!
This is done via several different means:
Training
Training in general, especially twice a day, tends to increase
Growth Hormone-Levels.
The most effective training for this purpose by far is Lactic Acid Training: GH sky-rockets from this!
Fasting
HGH‘s main-job is to preserve muscle mass and make body fat available for energy… Enter Fasting: No nutrients coming in, so the body goes on preservation mode: muscle needs to be preserved = HGH.
There‘s no food-energy available, so the body makes available the energy it saved up in the body fat-stores for just that purpose = HGH.
So you get the best of both worlds: Fat Burning and the rejuvenating, regenerating effects of Growth Hormone, all in one go.
It doesn‘t get much better than that.
Also fasting gives your whole system a much needed rest and it really helps general detoxification of the body.
No wonder fasting is, and has been since 1000‘s of years, really popular!
Supplements
Supplementation can do a great deal to increase HGH-Levels. Especially L-Glutamine, L-Arginine and Glycene are extremely effective to that end. Add BCAA‘s into the blend and GH goes through the roof!
Some Quick Guidelines:
Glutamine: 2.5 – 5 gram in the AM and PM both, om empty stomach. At those same times use L-Arginine at amounts of in between 10-30 gram! That‘s a lot, but that‘s what it takes. Glycene: 5 gram in the mornings with the other aminos. Beware the Laxative effect! You might want to start slowly on this…
BCAA‘s: Same time, same place, in between 5-10 gram at a time. One approach is to cycle these with the Arginine, so say 4 weeks of arginine alternated with 4 weeks of BCAA‘s.
Sleep
And finally: A good Night‘s Rest, Healthy, regenerating Sleep…
It‘s very important for overall quality of life, of performance… and, yes, for optimal HGH-Levels.
You might have heard of the fact that this hormone is usually highest at nights?
Well, at least one reason for that is simply this: You‘re fasting at night! See the Fasting Paragraph above…
And how do you make sure of a good Night‘s Sleep?
Perfect Soccer Sleep for Optimal HGH – Levels
Growth Hormone also is fantastic for Fat Burning Results
