- Resistance training improves strength, hypertrophy, power, and physical function vs no exercise.
- Most program variables have minimal impact on outcomes.
- Strength: heavier loads and 2 or more sessions per week are beneficial.
- Hypertrophy: higher weekly volume drives gains.
- Power: moderate loads with fast movements are optimal.
