The Claim
A 12-week supervised resistance training program may be associated with reduced pain interference and improved patient-reported lower limb function in women diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy type 1, with statistically significant improvements observed following 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.
Women with myotonic dystrophy type 1 might feel less pain and notice better leg function after doing a 12-week supervised strength training program.

A 12-week supervised resistance training program may be associated with reduced pain interference and improved patient perception of lower limb function in women with myotonic dystrophy type 1, with statistically significant improvements observed after the intervention.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Resistance training in women with myotonic dystrophy type 1: a multisystemic therapeutic avenue.
The study looked at women with myotonic dystrophy who did strength training for 12 weeks and found they had less pain and felt their legs worked better—just as the claim says.
