Mixed
Responsiveness to resistance training for one outcome (e.g., strength) is not necessarily associated with responsiveness for other outcomes (e.g., glucose metabolism or blood pressure), indicating outcome-specific responses.
Do not assume that getting stronger will automatically fix your blood sugar or blood pressure. If your strength improves but your metabolic markers do not, you may need to add specific interventions (like dietary changes or different exercise types) to address those specific risks.
high responsiveness to one stimulus... on one outcome measure such as strength, may not be associated with responsiveness to the stimulus for another health-related outcome measure such as blood pressure
Why this rating
Based on correlation data from the Resist Diabetes study showing low correlation between strength gains and other metabolic improvements.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
