The Claim
Resistance training leads to a statistically significant increase in peak torque of knee extensors, elbow flexors, and elbow extensors in patients with pancreatic cancer cachexia after 12 weeks of intervention.
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.
In patients with pancreatic cancer cachexia, 12 weeks of resistance training increases peak torque in the knee extensors, elbow flexors, and elbow extensors.
See the scientific wording
Resistance training leads to a statistically significant increase in peak torque of knee extensors, elbow flexors, and elbow extensors in patients with pancreatic cancer cachexia after 12 weeks of intervention, with p-values of 0.004, 0.001, and significant improvement in elbow extensors, respectively.
When muscles are forced to work harder during strength training, more muscle fibers activate with each contraction, and the body builds more contractile proteins inside the fibers, making them stronger and able to generate more force.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with pancreatic cancer who were weak from their illness got stronger in their arms and legs after doing strength training for 12 weeks, and the study proved it with hard measurements.
