The Claim
Adherence to an online resistance training program among healthy older adults averaged 72% over a 24-week period, indicating moderate feasibility of digital delivery for strength training in this population.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among healthy older adults, 72% completed an online resistance training program over 24 weeks, showing that digital delivery of strength training is moderately feasible for this group.

Adherence to an online resistance training program among healthy older adults averaged 72% over 24 weeks, indicating moderate feasibility of digital delivery for strength training in this population.
When older adults perform resistance exercises at home using online guidance, their muscles are stretched and pulled under load, which triggers signals inside muscle cells to build more contractile proteins. Eating more protein provides the raw materials needed for this process, causing muscle fibers to grow thicker and stronger. This increases their ability to stand up, walk, and move without help.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that 72% of older adults kept doing their online strength workouts for six months, which is exactly what the claim says — so it supports it.
