The Claim
Twelve weeks of resistance exercise training is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in physical performance, as evidenced by approximately 10% faster timed up and go test times and increased 6-minute walk distance, in both healthy postmenopausal women and postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.
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.
Doing strength training for 12 weeks may help postmenopausal women — both healthy ones and breast cancer survivors — move better, walk farther, and get up and go faster.
