Effects of resistance training on muscle mass, strength, and physical function in older women with sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Resistance training effectively enhances muscle strength and physical function in older women with sarcopenia, though improvements in muscle mass remain uncertain. Further large-scale, long-term studies are needed to confirm these findings and optimize intervention protocols.

Resistance training effectively enhances muscle strength and physical function in older women with sarcopenia, though improvements in muscle mass remain uncertain. Further large-scale, long-term studies are needed to confirm these findings and optimize intervention protocols.
