High load resistance exercise
High load resistance exercise has been studied in 2 papers since 2022: 2 trials in people. The newest paper, Oct 14, 2022: “Acute effects of low load resistance training with blood flow restriction on serum growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, and testosterone in patients with mild to moderate unilateral knee osteoarthritis”.

What did studies of high load resistance exercise find?
2Studies of high load resistance exercise measured 2 outcomes: MAPK/ERK signaling and PI3K–AKT signaling.
MAPK/ERK signaling

High load resistance exercise increases MAPK/ERK signaling in humans (1 and 4 h post exercise).
