The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks resistance training program with HMB supplementary product on changes in Growth hormone and testosterone over non athlete males. This presented research is a semi-experimental research and due to this matter 20 non athlete males participated voluntary for this research and were divided into 2 groups, experimental groups (n=10) with an average age of 75/28±39/1 years, height 83/179±30/0 centimeters, weight 23/84+-58/3 kilograms and fat percentage 21/29±97/5,2: control group(n=10) with an average of 28+-14/2 years, height 25/180±71/3 centimeters , weight 23/84±58/3 kg and fat percentage 21/29±97/5.both groups performed 8 weeks resistance training protocol ( 5 moves,3 times per a week, with an intensity level of 50 to 80% 1RM). The experimental group during the research took 3 gr HMB supplement daily .a drug index is used for the control group. before the exercise and 48 h after the last training session blood sample was taken from their left forearm vein while fasting. at last growth hormone and testosterone serum dosage was analyzed via a micro wells (made in U.S.A). Beside growth hormone and testosterone, fat percentage, BMI and vo2 max were analyzed before and after the experiment. The analyzed rate via T TEST showed that the usage of HMB supplement doesn’t have a significant effect on GH,TH, FAT PERCENTAGE, BMI, and vo2 max. This presented information doesn’t recommend the HMB supplement dose for increasing level of growth and testosterone serum.
