Intense resistance training induces pronounced metabolic stress and impairs hypertrophic response in hind-limb muscles of rats.

This study shows that rats submitted to 5 weeks of intensive resistance jump-training - high intensity, large volume, and short rest intervals - present high levels of blood corticosterone associated with negative effects on hypertrophy of types-I and II muscle fibers.
