Resistance training lowers LDL cholesterol levels in adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 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 resistance training lowers LDL cholesterol levels in adults?

Partly. Evidence on resistance training and LDL cholesterol is mixed and partial: a small trial in young men and a book chapter suggest resistance training may lower LDL-C, while a 12-week trial in obese elderly women found no significant lipid change, and one combined HIIT-plus-resistance study attributed LDL-C reduction to HIIT rather than resistance work. No retrieved item settles the general claim for adults.
