ABSTRACT
Regular resistance exercise (RE) participation consistently yields meaningful improvements in muscular strength, hypertrophy, and endurance.1 In addition to these well-established increases in muscular tness outcomes, accumulating evidence supports the therapeutic value of RE as an adjuvant treatment in a variety of chronic disease conditions including cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, and
