Physiology Friday #196: Resistance Training and Heart Health

Physiologically Speaking

The benefit of resistance training observed in observational studies is supported by controlled trials on resistance training, which demonstrate that this type of exercise reduces traditional and nontraditional CVD risk factors. Aerobic training is probably best for increasing cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., In short — do both!
