Weight training

Exercise (regular aerobic and weight training at least three times a week) / The use of electroconvulsive therapy for severe mania or mixed episodes, psychotic depression, or rapid cycling is still considered the best...

In prolonged space flight, besides the obvious hazards of meteors, rocky debris, and radiation, astronauts will have to deal with muscle atrophy brought on by weighdessness therefore, when they return to Earth, they face a protracted period of weight training to rebuild their strength. 

Strength training exercises, i.e. weight training by body builders (Table 13.11).

Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of the cells due to synthesis of more sub-cellular components. An increase in the size of the organ results. Take, for example, cardiac hypertrophy in response to increased workload. The increased load is often a result of some pathological condition such as heart valve incompetence or stenosis of an outflow path. Hypertrophy of the muscles of a body builder is another good example, in which the increased workload is due to continued weight training. 

Though the amount of muscle protein gained per day during weight training does not justify an increased protein intake, many athletes believe that high levels of protein are essential to stimulate maximum muscle development. However, as shown in Fig. 1, intakes of protein above the requirement produce no stimulation of protein synthesis. By feeding different levels of protein to rodents, we found that maximum muscle mass and the maximum rate of protein synthesis were achieved at relatively low levels of dietary protein and intakes two or three times this level produced no additional stimulation (16).

CATABOLIC The opposite of anabolic catabolic means the breakdown of tissue. Catabolism often occurs in disease, infection, and immobilization. Intense weight training also induces catabolism. A negative nitrogen balance most often accompanies catabolic states. Anabolic steroids reverse this state and actually function optimally on muscles which are in this condition. Therefore, the intensity of a person s training can contribute to the effectiveness of an anabolic steroid. 

HYPERTROPHY The goal of nearly all weight training athletes -- the increase in size or mass of a muscle. 

In terms of training it would be great if you could do aerobics and weight train with the same energy and intensity as you would with carbohydrates in your system. Unfortunately you cannot. 

Heavy, eccentric weight training causes the highest increases in circulating bioactive IGF-1. 

The latest body of research on IGF-1 validates that intense weight training induces a signal within muscle causes a rearranging effect to the ratio of these binding proteins that results in increased activity and availability of IGF-1. This appears to be essential to the growth and repair process...or Action/Reaction Factors. 

Note that aerobic exercise seems to be better at reducing anxiety, while weight training helps boost self-esteem. So try to engage in some of each, adjusting the balance to your own personal needs.
