The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a single bout of resistance exercise on measures of postprandial lipemia and glucose metabolism in lean and obese young women. Based on the results, a single bout of RE does appear to have potential in favorably affecting certain postprandial blood variables indicative of atherosclerosis, CVD, diabetes and related comorbidities. Future research might consider continued examination of RE and PPL following a HFM but alter the total volume load and or intensity of the exercise bout to perhaps elicit the desired response. The lipemic response of the obese young women in this study suggests that impairments in lipid profile may already be in effect; thus, further research must be done with this group (young women) to achieve more conclusive answers regarding possible causes and appropriate interventions. Another consideration may be to sample different time points. Although, the time points used in this study were based on available literature, perhaps sampling earlier in the post-exercise period may reveal additional insight regarding RE and the possible influence on lipemic response.
