Arterial stiffness and wave reflection following exercise in resistance-trained men
Article Abstract:
The hypothesis that potentially greater tonic arterial stiffness in resistance-trained (RT) men will alter the vascular response to an acute exercise stressor is tested. Results found that the arterial response to maximal aerobic exercise is similar in highly RT and non-RT men, no change in intensity of central pressure wave reflection despite significant reductions in peripheral muscular artery stiffness.

Lymphocyte subpopulations in lymphoid organs of rats after acute resistance exercise
Article Abstract:
As little as a single session of resistance exercise, or isometrics, can produce higher populations of lymphoid cells. The affect of exercise on lymphoid populations has long been documented, but this is one of the first studies showing similar results from resistance exercise. Bodily areas most affected were the thymus, axial, and inguinal nodes for leukocytes.
