Why the study?
Does higher intensity resistance exercise (70% 1-RM) increase heart rate and blood lactate response compared to lower intensity (50% 1-RM) in male subjects?

May warrant caution with higher-intensity resistance exercise in cardiac patients; hypothesis-generating for training guidelines.
Does higher intensity resistance exercise (70% 1-RM) increase heart rate and blood lactate response compared to lower intensity (50% 1-RM) in male subjects?
Higher intensity resistance exercise (70% vs 50% 1-RM) produces significantly greater increases in heart rate and blood lactate concentrations.
