The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an acute session of resistance exercise with blood flow restriction in modulation of oxidative stress parameters at different moments. Eleven participants (23.72 ± 3.49 years and 81.51 ± 6.10 kg) were recruited to perform a crossover design with three protocols: high intensity resistance exercise (HI 80% 1RM), low intensity resistance exercise (LI 30% 1RM), and with blood flow restriction (LI-BFR 30% 1RM). The oxidative profile in an acute session at four moments was assessed: baseline, immediately after exercise, and 24 and 48 hours later. The Ethics Committee at the Methodist University Center-IPA (Porto Alegre, Brazil) approved this study. The results did not show statistical significance (p>0.05) among moments and among groups for TBARS and protein carbonyls. Likewise, for the antioxidant activity there was also no difference (p>0.05) among moments and groups for sulfhydryl groups. The superoxide dismutase enzyme demonstrated a significant reduction (p<0.05) between baseline and immediately after exercise in the LI-BFR group. After group comparison, the HI group showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in baseline and 24 hours when compared to the LI-BFR. An equal increase was observed in the HI group at the moment of 24 hours later when compared to the LI group. The catalase enzyme levels in the LI group were significantly higher than in the LI-BFR and HI groups at baseline and 24 hours (p<0.05) later. Lastly, the low intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction in maximum repetition appears not to have modified the oxidative profile in young and healthy subjects, suggesting that the hypertrophy mechanism of that methodology of training occurred in other molecular ways.
