This study describes the effects of RT on muscle strength, lean mass and bone mineralization, highlighting the relationships between them 💰 and analyzing the effectiveness of the RT protocol.

Information searches were conducted in open access online academic libraries, using the BMC/BMD 💰 indices combined with muscle strength, body composition, and resistance exercises.

The results showed changes in BMC/BMD in 72% of the studies 💰 published in the last decade.

Among these, 77% recommended loads ≥ 80% 1-RM, 61% involved older individuals (> 60 years) and 💰 61% had planning protocols of between 3 and 5 months (-12-20 weeks).

The results also highlight muscle strength as a promising 💰 index of variations in BMC/BMD, with a moderate to high level of association (r 2 >0.
