Fifteen healthy participants (10 men and 5 women) with at least six months of weight-lifting experience volunteered (age: 24 ± 2 years; height: 1.74 ± 0.08 m; body mass: 67.7 ± 9.0 kg; resting heart rate (HR): 58 ± 13 bpm; SBP: 113 ± 8 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure (DBP): 66 ± 7; 10-repetition maximum on leg press (10RM): 211 ± 37 kg). All participants were screened and excluded if they had a previous history of cardiovascular disease, or were taking any medication or substance that could potentially affect the results. Participants signed an informed consent and were suitably informed about their rights. The research project obtained the formal ethical approval by the University of A Coruña and was in full compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
