Strength Training Effects on Musculoskeletal Health, Melatonin, Rest-activity Rhythms and Quality of Life: Muscle:Time Study
Abstract
The objective here is to assess the efficacy of variable resistance muscle training on bone, sleep parameters and quality of life in healthy populations of men and women age 30 or older.
Conditions: Musculoskeletal Diseases.
Primary outcome: Lean Body Mass; Body Circumference; Functional test 1 to assess musculoskeletal strength; Functional test 2 to assess musculoskeletal strength; Bone marker activity-bone resorption; Bone marker activity-bone formation; Ratio of bone resorption to bone formation; Hormone levels-Testosterone; Hormone levels-Cortisol; Inflammatory Marker; Rest-activity rhythms; Melatonin.
Enrollment: 56 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 56 participants or records.
