Abstract Purpose The purpose of this research is to study the effects of aging and combined training (sprint and strength) on catecholamine responses [adrenaline (A) and noradrenaline (NA)]. Methods Thirty-two male subjects voluntarily participated in this study. They were randomly divided into four groups: A young trained group (age 21.4 ± 1.2 years, YT, n = 8), a young control group (age 21.9 ± 1.9 years, YC, n = 8), a middle-aged trained group (age 40.8 ± 2.8 years, AT, n = 8) and a middle-aged control group (age 40.4 ± 2.0 years, AC, n = 8). YT and AT participated in a high intensity sprint and strength training program (HISST) Communicated by Jean-René Lacour. M. Sellami · W. Kebsi · S. Lemoine‑Morel · H.
