Book excerpt: Abstract: The aim of the investigation was to study changes in leukocyte subsets following an acute bout of resistance exercise (ARE), and determine whether the ingestion of carbohydrate (CHO) could attenuate those immune responses. Nine male track and field athletes (age 21.11 + 1.36 yrs), with a minimum of 2 years of weight lifting experience performed resistance exercise: six sets of leg press and lat pull-downs, and six sets of bench press and leg curls. All exercises included two warm-up sets of 10 repetitions at 35% and 45% of 1-RM, and four sets of 10 repetitions at 55% of 1-RM. Following a counterbalanced double-blind research design, subjects consumed either a CHO or placebo(P) beverage prior to, during, and following the weightlifting session in a volume to deliver CHO at 19 per kg of body weight. Total leukocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes increased significantly (p
