The Claim
Hypertrophy-type resistance training for 16 weeks is associated with a 4.8% decrease in bioimpedance resistance in young adult men and a 3.8% decrease in young adult women, suggesting improved tissue conductivity consistent with increased muscle mass and cellular hydration.
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.
Sixteen weeks of muscle-building resistance training is associated with a 4.8% reduction in bioimpedance resistance in young adult men and a 3.8% reduction in young adult women, indicating changes in tissue conductivity that align with increased muscle mass and cellular hydration.

When muscles grow larger from weight training, they pack in more proteins and water inside their cells. This makes the cells fuller and their outer membranes stronger, which lets electrical current flow through the tissue more easily, lowering resistance.

1 studyStudy: Hypertrophy-type Resistance Training Improves Phase Angle in Young Adult Men and Women
After doing weight training for weeks, both guys and girls showed signs their muscles got bigger and held more water, which makes their bodies conduct electricity better — just like the claim said.
