Associations of resistance training levels with low muscle mass: a nationwide cross-sectional study in Korea

ConclusionsSince performing RT for 5 days/week or more did not yield any additional effects on the risk of low muscle mass, performing RT for 3 –4 days/week was sufficient to prevent low muscle mass. The effectiveness of this preventive measure can be further enhanced by engaging in long-term RT, specifically for more than 2 years.
