The Claim
A 12-week supervised resistance training program may be associated with reduced symptoms of apathy and depression in women with myotonic dystrophy type 1, as measured by patient-reported outcomes, with statistically significant improvements observed immediately after the 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.
Doing supervised strength training for 12 weeks might help women with myotonic dystrophy type 1 feel less down or unmotivated, based on how they report their own mood.
