The purpose of this study was to examine effects of taking BCAA and glutamine on the body composition and hormone in weight training for 10 weeks. Subjects were selected by 13 male university students whose major in physical education and they had no medical problems. This study was divided that experiment group is taking BCAA and glutamine by exercising whereas contrast group is just conducting exercise. And this study was measured the change in body composition(skeletal muscle, body fat) and hormone(IGF-1, testosterone, cortisol). The results of this study are as follows. First, experiment group was significantly higher than contrast group in the increase of skeletal muscle rate, however there was no difference at decrease of body fat rate. Second, experiment group was significantly higher than contrast group at testosterone and IGF-1, however there was no difference at cortisol. As a result taking BCAA and glutamine had effect on the body composition and hormone in weight training for 10 weeks.
