Abstract

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a supervised progressive resistance training (RT) program conducted over two years on cardiac structure and function in older women.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

Long-term resistance training improves cardiac structure and function in older women. This study addresses the impact of exercise on aging-related decline in cardiac health, which is a critical aspect of longevity research.
