Effects of resistance training intensity on muscle quantity/quality in middle‐aged and older people: a randomized controlled trial

A sarcopenia diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of low muscle quantity or quality under the 2018 revised definition by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2. Imaging methods [i.e. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)], dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), and bioelectrical impedance analysis are tools to evaluate muscle quantity or quality. The present study aimed to investigate whether and how low‐intensity and moderate‐intensity resistance training improved both muscle quantity and quality measured by MRI, DXA, and segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (S‐BIS) in middle‐aged and older people.

Keywords: older people; muscle quantity; quantity quality; muscle
