Lifting heavy weights reduces body fat mass in adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lifting heavy weights reduces body fat mass in adults?

Unclear. One overview of 12 systematic reviews reports favorable effects of exercise training, including resistance training, on fat mass in adults with overweight or obesity, and a forum answer asserts muscle-building training accompanies fat reduction. Neither directly tests heavy weight lifting as the intervention reducing body fat in general adults.
