Details and patient eligibility

About

Healthy young adults will complete three trials in a randomized crossover counter-balanced order, including two different loads of resistance exercise and sedentary control. During each trial, blood samples will be collected.

The investigators hypothesized that high-load and low-load resistance exercise exert similar metabolic responses.
