Results

Low-load high-effort resistance exercise was used to examine the acute effects of different exercise volumes (Failure and VL20) on vascular endothelial function. Sixteen healthy young men completed both conditions in a randomized crossover design. FMD increased after exercise with no differences between protocols. Blood lactate increased and was greater in the Failure protocol. Oxidative stress markers (d-ROMs) and antioxidant potential (BAP) increased after exercise.

Baseline Characteristics

Sixteen healthy male university students participated in this study. The mean age was 23.1 +/- 3.8 years, height was 170.6 +/- 6.0 cm, body weight was 68.9 +/- 11.3 kg, and body mass index was 23.6 +/- 3.4 kg/m2. All participants were non-smokers and had no history of hypertension or cardiovascular disease. All participants provided written informed consent before participation. All participants completed both experimental conditions and were included in the final analysis.

Participant flow

Sixteen healthy male university students were recruited and enrolled in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to the order of two exercise protocols (Failure and VL20) in a randomized crossover design. All participants completed both experimental conditions and were included in the final analysis. No participants withdrew or were excluded during the study period.

Adverse events

No serious adverse events or exercise-related adverse events were reported during the study period. All participants completed both exercise protocols safely.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measure was vascular endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD). Secondary outcome measures included resting brachial artery diameter, blood lactate concentration, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), oxidative stress markers (d-ROMs), antioxidant potential (BAP), and the d-ROMs/BAP ratio. Measurements were performed before and after exercise.
