The Claim

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels remain statistically unchanged over time following resistance training with varying eccentric-concentric tempos in healthy young men.

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

After doing weightlifting with different speeds for lowering and lifting the weights, your body’s LDH levels don’t go up or down in a meaningful way — they just stay about the same.

See the scientific wording

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels do not significantly change over time after resistance training with varying eccentric-concentric tempos in healthy young men.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Impact of differing eccentric-concentric phase durations on muscle damage and anabolic hormones

    The study had guys do weightlifting with different speeds and checked their LDH levels before and after. The levels didn’t go up or down much over time, which means the claim that LDH doesn’t change after this kind of workout is correct.
