Registration Number
NCT06114550
Lead Sponsor
Air Force Military Medical University, China
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinial trial study is to explore the effect of high or low intensity resistance training (LIRT) under similar training volume on change in serum levels of BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF, irisin, and plasma Hcy in young adults.The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Whether high and low intensity will increase the serum levels of BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF, irisin, and reduce plasma Hcy.

2. whether a greater magnitude of change would be suffer in low intensity group when compared to high intensity group, as an effect of greater physiological adaptation produced by more repetitions required to complete.

Participants will performe two different intensity resistance training (HIRT, at 80%1RM with 12 repetitions and 4-5 sets and LIRT, at 40%1RM with 24 repetitions and 4-5 sets).

Researchers will compare the training effects of two different training on these growth factors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood lactate"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

serum blood lactate

BDNF"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

regulators of neurogenesis

IGF-1"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

regulators of neurogenesis

Irisin"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

regulators of neurogenesis

Hcy"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

homocysteine (Hcy) increase with age and resulted in cognitive function decline through greater oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction

Rata of perceived exertion"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

The rating of perceive exertion (RPE) questionnaire scale was applied to assess participants' subjective fatigue feeling throughout the training period.

VEGF"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

regulators of neurogenesis

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy rate"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

Accuracy refers to the correct degree of expression or description of a thing, which is used to reflect the correct answer to the thing

Reactive time"0 minutes" "60 minutes" "90 minutes"

Reaction time is the time it takes for the body to go from receiving a stimulus to responding to an action
