Total body water (TBW) increased by 2.8% in the training group after 12 weeks of resistance training.
Resistance training may improve hydration status in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
There was a significant group by time interaction (P < 0.05) for TBW in which only the TG increased their scores after the intervention period.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
