Both traditional and pyramid resistance training systems achieved upregulation of the antioxidant system in older women after 8 weeks.
Incorporating either traditional or pyramid resistance training can enhance antioxidant levels in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
As compared with the CG, both TD and PR achieved upregulation of the antioxidant system as evidenced by higher (p < .05) values of total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter plasma concentration after intervention.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
