Impact of progressive resistance training on lipids and lipoproteins in adults: Another look at a meta-analysis using prediction intervals

Caution may be warranted in recommending that PRT improves TC, HDL–C, TC/HDL–C, non–HDL–C, LDL–C, and TG in adults. Future research should continue to examine the effects of PRT on lipids and lipoproteins in adults so as to determine optimal programs and populations in which PRT may have a positive effect.
