Acute Effects of Structured Exercise and Static Stretching on Vascular Function, Neuromuscular Performance, and Metabolic Regulation in Adults

This experimental study investigates the acute cardiovascular and vascular responses to a single session of resistance training, with and without additional static stretching, compared with a resting control condition. Participants are allocated to one of three groups (control, resistance training, resistance training plus static stretching) and assessed at baseline, immediately after the session, and 30 minutes post-exercise. Primary outcomes include blood pressure and other hemodynamic or functional measures, in order to explore the short-term impact of these exercise modalities on cardiovascular regulation.
