Resistance Training Is Beneficial for Bone Mineral Density in Post-Menopausal Women

A meta-analysis published in 2025 combined the results of 17 different studies (a total of 690 participants) to investigate the effects of different types of strength training on bone density in post-menopausal women.

The results demonstrated that resistance training has a beneficial effect on bone density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip, which are common fracture sites. Higher intensity resistance training that was maintained long-term was particularly effective for the femoral neck and total hip, and a training frequency of 3x per week improved bone density at all sites.

Exercise is an Effective Treatment for Depression

A 2024 meta-analysis combined the results of 218 studies (14,170 participants) to investigate the effect of different forms of exercise for people with clinical depression.

The results showed that exercise is an effective treatment for depression, with yoga, walking, jogging and strength training the most effective types, particularly when more intense.

The take home message is that movement benefits mood. If you can push yourself that little bit harder, it is likely to lift your mood further, but anything you can manage will have a beneficial effect.
