Abstract Background  The post-exercise hypotension response (PEH) has been shown to be dependent on the load and volume of a resistance training (RT) prescription. Aim  The aim of the present study was to compare the PEH between a low-load and high-volume and a high-load and lowvolume RT session. Methods  Ten young men with more than 2 years of RT experience participated in the study. All subjects were submitted to 5 and 15 repetition maximum tests, in counterbalanced order, for the following exercises: back squat, chest press, leg press and wide grip pulldown. Then, the subjects performed two protocols (P5 and P15) that consisted of three sets to volitional failure with 2-min rest intervals between sets and exercises. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measured before and after 60 min following each session at 10-min time points. Results  Significantly greater total training volume was observed for all exercises in P15 (p
