This study describes the effects of RT on muscle strength, lean mass and bone mineralization, highlighting the relationships between them 👄 and analyzing the effectiveness of the RT protocol.
Information searches were conducted in open access online academic libraries, using the BMC/BMD 👄 indices combined with muscle strength, body composition, and resistance exercises.
The results showed changes in BMC/BMD in 72% of the studies 👄 published in the last decade.
Among these, 77% recommended loads ≥ 80% 1-RM, 61% involved older individuals (> 60 years) and 👄 61% had planning protocols of between 3 and 5 months (-12-20 weeks).
The results also highlight muscle strength as a promising 👄 index of variations in BMC/BMD, with a moderate to high level of association (r 2 >0.
