How does resistance training specifically influence females? How much muscle will females gain when starting resistance training? How does resistance training influence body composition, e.g., fat percentage? Do we have enough research to draw any conclusions?
In this interview, I discuss these questions and more with Mandy Hagstrom. Mandy is an accredited exercise scientist whose work focuses broadly on the effects of resistance training. She is currently researching female-specific responses to resistance training, resistance training in perimenopause, and gender and sex equity in exercise science.
Enjoy!
