These consequences can be detrimental to future exercise performance and dampen long-term training adaptations. Previous research has considered resistance exercise intensity as a factor in exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), though a clear direction of the findings has not yet been established. Further, female populations are heavily underrepresented in this field of study. Therefore, we here propose a study protocol designed to examine sex differences in the muscle damage response to resistance exercise performed with low or high loads in a population of untrained, young adults.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study will employ a randomised parallel group design. Twenty-four males and 24 females will perform an acute leg-based resistance exercise session at either 30% (low-load) or 80% (high-load) of their pre-determined one-repetition maximum (1RM). Maximal leg strength will be determined by a 1RM test 3 wk before and 72 and 168 h after the exercise bout. Additionally, muscle damage will be assessed immediately before the exercise bout and immediately, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h after the exercise bout through measures of muscle soreness, limb circumference, range of motion, and serum concentrations of creatine kinase and interleukin-6. The outcomes of this trial could inform sex-specific resistance training recommendations and help bridge the sex data gap in sport and exercise science research.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0275221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]],"date-time":"2022-09-29T19:12:44Z","timestamp":1664478764000},"page":"e0275221","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sex differences in the impact of resistance exercise load on muscle damage: A protocol for a randomised parallel group trial"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8640-1512","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alice G.","family":"Pearson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5947-3940","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lindsay S.","family":"Macnaughton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Hind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0275221.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2857","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0b013e3181e840f3","article-title":"The Mechanisms of Muscle Hypertrophy and Their Application to Resistance Training","volume":"24","author":"Schoenfeld","year":"2010","journal-title":"The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research"},{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0275221.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3508","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0000000000002200","article-title":"Strength and Hypertrophy Adaptations Between Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis","volume":"31","author":"B.
