Impact of Growth Hormone on Skeletal Muscle Strength, Power, Endurance, and Agility in Prepubertal Boys With Short Stature
Boys with significant SS have quantifiable deficits in upper and lower body skeletal muscle strength, and lower physical endurance than normally statured controls. GH treatment for 12 months can improve these metrics in prepubertal boys with SS.
