Conditions

Aging, Inflammatory Response

Brief summary

Healthy young and older adults will complete two trials in a randomized crossover counter-balanced order, including resistance exercise and sedentary control. During each trial, blood samples will be collected. The investigators hypothesized that an acute bout of resistance exercise exert different inflammation responses in young and older adults.

Interventions

OTHERResistance exercise

4 total resistance exercises that target all major muscle groups.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes in biomarkers of inflammation24-hour during each study interventionBiomarkers of inflammation will be measured such as IL-10 in pg/mL, IL-6 in pg/mL, TNF-α in pg/mL.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes in metabolic parameters24-hour during each study interventionMetabolic parameters will be measured such as TC in mg/dL, TG in mg/dL, and HDL in mg/dL.
Changes in biomarkers of muscle damage24-hour during each study interventionBiomarkers of muscle damage will be measured such as CK in U/L and LDH in U/L.
Changes in glucose24-hour during each study interventionglucose in mg/dL
Changes in complete blood count (CBC)24-hour during each study interventionThe white blood cell count and the count of each white blood cell type will be measured.
Borgs Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE)1-hour during each exercise interventionBorgs 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 molecular markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)24-hour during each study interventionMolecular markers in PBMC will be measured such as STAT3 in arbitrary units, IKK in arbitrary units, IkB in arbitrary units, p65 in arbitrary units, SOCS3 in arbitrary units, AMPK in arbitrary units, and SIRT1 in arbitrary units.
