The Effect of Resistance Exercise on Inflammation in Young and Older Adults

The Acute Effect of High-load Resistance Exercise on Inflammation in Young and Older Adults

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

The investigators hypothesized that an acute bout of resistance exercise exert different inflammation responses in young and older adults.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age: 20-80
