The Claim
High-volume resistance training (approximately 997.3 arbitrary units) is associated with greater increases in whole-body muscle hypertrophy (mean gain of ~1.3 kg) compared to low-volume resistance training (approximately 445.0 arbitrary units, mean gain of ~0.9 kg) in postmenopausal and older females aged 45 years and older.
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.
If older women who’ve gone through menopause do more weight training sessions, they tend to gain more muscle mass than those who do fewer sessions.

What the research says
1 studyThis study found that older women who did more weight training gained more muscle than those who did less, exactly as the claim says.
