Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA

The research utilizes data from three large prospective cohorts to analyze the impact of resistance training on mortality rates. It highlights the associations between varying durations of resistance training and aerobic exercise, utilizing validated questionnaires and Cox proportional hazard models for analysis. The findings suggest that resistance training is linked to reduced mortality risks, particularly from certain types of cancer and neurological diseases.
