Abstract in brief

Metabolic stress during exercise, caused by low energy levels, results in the buildup of metabolites like lactate, phosphate, inorganic Pi, and hydrogen ions, which influence muscle and hormonal responses.
Resistance training, especially with variations in intensity, volume, and rest, plays a key role in increasing metabolic stress, leading to enhanced hormonal release, hypoxia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cell swelling, all promoting muscle growth.
Different training methods, such as low-intensity resistance with blood flow restriction and high-intensity interval training, can be used to maximize metabolic stress, thereby boosting muscle adaptations and overall training effectiveness.
