This semester in the Human Performance Lab, Dr. Ratamess researched the effects of several different run protocols on acute resistance exercise performance. His study, titled “The Effects of Prior Aerobic Exercise on Acute resistance Exercise Performance,” included subjects who first underwent a control period in which they performed the resistance exercises without running. This was done in order to determine baseline movement proficiencies, since not all subjects were necessarily accustomed to each exercise. Each subject’s %VO 2 and %1 RM were determined. One of four types of runs were performed during each trial prior to the resistance exercises (high pull, shoulder press, squats, bench press, and deadlift). Blood lactate was taken immediately after each run and at the end of all resistance exercises.
