Acute Heavy Resistance Exercise Protocol Induces Significant Physiological Stress Elevating Extracellular Heat Shock Protein

Cytoprotective protein HSP70 is important in recovery from stress and exercise, but has not been well-characterized in response to muscle damaging resistance exercise protocols. PURPOSE: To characterize the physiological response to a high stress acute heavy resistance exercise protocol (AHREP) in blood biomarkers including extracellular HSP70 (eHSP70). METHODS: Healthy, resistance-trained men (n = 10, 24±4.5 years, 176.8±5.5 cm, 84.65±12.78 kg,...
