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?

2

Studies of high load resistance exercise measured 2 outcomes: MAPK/ERK signaling and PI3K–AKT signaling.

MAPK/ERK signaling

upin humans1

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

    “Several important anabolic pathways including PI3K-Akt and MAPK pathways were significantly upregulated at 1 and 4 h post-exercise.”
