Abstract
This study explored the impact of eight weeks of resistance, aerobic, and combined exercises on serum levels of Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in active older men. Thirty-six participants were randomly divided into three groups (resistance, aerobic, and combined exercise), and serum levels were measured using ELISA kits before and after the exercise protocols. The results revealed a significant 6.4% increase in GDF-15 levels following aerobic exercise, while resistance exercise caused an 18.05% decrease. No notable change was observed in the combined exercise group for GDF-15. For NT-proBNP, aerobic and combined exercises led to reductions of 34.1% and 24.8%, respectively, while resistance exercises resulted in a 37.7% increase. These findings indicate that resistance exercises can reduce GDF-15 levels, which contrasts with the general view that aerobic exercises alone benefit cardiac health. Additionally, aerobic and combined exercises were effective in lowering NT-proBNP levels, whereas resistance exercises had the opposite effect.
