Reporter brief
Four-week resistance training did not significantly improve diaphragm thickness in older men (RCT, n=30)
What happened
This RCT assigned 30 healthy men aged 60-75 to four weeks of moderate-intensity resistance training or control. The study measured diaphragm thickness via CT scan as the primary outcome, with secondary measures of hepatic fat density and quality of life via SF-12. The abstract does not report the actual findings for any outcome.
