This study describes the effects of RT on muscle strength, lean mass and bone mineralization, highlighting the relationships between them 0️⃣ and analyzing the effectiveness of the RT protocol. Information searches were conducted in open access online academic libraries, using the BMC/BMD 0️⃣ indices combined with muscle strength, body composition, and resistance exercises. The results showed changes in BMC/BMD in 72% of the studies 0️⃣ published in the last decade. Among these, 77% recommended loads ≥ 80% 1-RM, 61% involved older individuals (> 60 years) and 0️⃣ 61% had planning protocols of between 3 and 5 months (-12-20 weeks). The results also highlight muscle strength as a promising 0️⃣ index of variations in BMC/BMD, with a moderate to high level of association (r 2 >0. |
