Key result
Acute resistance exercise impairs endothelial function in young, healthy males but not females, which is associated with a mitigated blood pressure response in females.
Why the study?
Does acute resistance exercise affect endothelial function and blood pressure response differently in young healthy males versus females?
Observational
Does acute resistance exercise affect endothelial function and blood pressure response differently in young healthy males versus females?
There is a sexual dimorphism in the vascular and barostress response to acute resistance exercise, with females preserving endothelial function due to a mitigated blood pressure response.
Acute resistance exercise may impair endothelial function in a sex-specific manner; leaves open whether findings extend beyond healthy young adults.
The present data demonstrate for the first time that acute resistance exercise impairs endothelial function in young, healthy male but not female subjects. In addition, we show that the preservation of endothelial function in females is associated with a mitigated blood pressure response during resistance exercise. Accordingly, this work portrays a sexual dimorphism in the barostress response, and ensuing vascular effects, to resistance exercise.

Morishima et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Healthy. Acute resistance exercise vs. Male subjects was evaluated on Endothelial function and blood pressure response. Acute resistance exercise impairs endothelial function in young, healthy males but not females, which is associated with a mitigated blood pressure response in females.
