Effects of Resistance Exercise on Metabolic Responses

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Inflammatory Response
Registration Number
NCT05051306
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan Normal University
Brief Summary

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.

uric acid mg/dL.

Changes in glucose4-hour during each study intervention

glucose in mg/dL

Changes in insulin4-hour during each study intervention

insulin in mU/L

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in NO4-hour during each study intervention

NO in µmol/L

Changes in biomarkers of inflammation4-hour during each study intervention

Biomarkers of inflammation will be measured such as IL-10 in pg/mL and IL-6 in pg/mL.

Changes in cortisol4-hour during each study intervention

cortisol in ng/mL

Changes in complete blood count4-hour during each study intervention

blood cell count in count per µL

Borgs Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE)1-hour during each exercise intervention

Borgs RPE is a method of estimating exertion rating, based on a 6 to 20 rating scale (6 being the no exertion at all, 20 being maximal exertion).

Changes in lactate4-hour during each study intervention

lactate in mmol/L

Changes in biomarkers of muscle damage4-hour during each study intervention

Biomarkers of muscle damage will be measured such as CK in U/L and LDH in U/L.

Heart rate (HR)6-hour during each study intervention

HR will be measured during each study intervention.

Changes in ET-14-hour during each study intervention

ET-1 in pg/mL

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of appetite6-hour during each study intervention

Hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective food consumption will be measured via VAS ratings, based on a 100 mm long scale (0 being "not at all", 100 being "extremely").

Changes in biomarkers of appetite4-hour during each study intervention

Biomarkers of appetite will be measured such as ghrelin in pg/mL and PYY in pg/mL.
