Significant increases were observed in phase angle (PhA), muscle quality index (MQI), muscular strength, muscle mass, and reactance after 12 weeks of resistance training.
Resistance training can lead to significant improvements in various physical health metrics in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
There were observed significant increases for PhA, MQI, muscular strength, muscle mass, and reactance.
Why this rating
The study design includes pre- and post-training measurements.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
