Study overview (A) and timelines for the final training session (B). Participants first completed 8 weeks of either resistance training (RT) alone, or RT combined with either high-intensity interval training (HIT+RT) or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT+RT). For the final training session (B), participants completed the RE protocol alone (i) or after a 15-min recovery following the completion of either HIT (ii) or work-matched MICT (iii) cycling. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis at rest before training, and immediately before beginning the final training session, and 1 h and 3 h after completion of RE.
