Effects of Resistance Exercise on Metabolic Responses

Effects of Volume-matched Resistance Exercise With Different Loads on Metabolic Responses

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.

Inclusion Criteria:
