  • Abstract

    Reductions in muscle size and strength occur with aging. These changes can be mitigated by participation in resistance training. At present, it is unknown if sex contributes to differences in adaptation to resistance training in older adults.

    The aim of this systematic review was to determine if sex differences are apparent in adaptations to resistance training in older adults.
