Cellular
Both two and three days per week resistance training resulted in significant increases in intracellular water, reactance, and phase angle.
Both training frequencies can be effective for improving specific cellular health metrics in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Intracellular water, reactance, and phase angle increased significantly in G2X (2.1%, 3.0%, and 5.6%, respectively) and G3X (5.0%, 6.9%, and 10.3%, respectively).
Why this rating
The study involved a randomized controlled trial design.
