The Claim

Resistance training increases muscle levels of ribosomal RNAs, including precursor 45S and mature transcripts (28S, 18S, and 5.8S), suggesting that enhanced ribosome biogenesis accompanies muscle hypertrophy.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

Supports
38score
Challenges
0score

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

When you lift weights, your muscles make more of the tiny molecular machines that build proteins, which helps them grow bigger.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Ribosome biogenesis adaptation in resistance training-induced human skeletal muscle hypertrophy.

    The study showed that after people did weight training for 8 weeks, their muscle cells made more of the tiny machines (ribosomes) needed to build muscle, which is exactly what the claim says.
