Hey Lucas, yes for overall health I would say a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise is best. But if you have to pick either resistance or aerobic exercise, I would pick resistance exercise.

I think the conclusions would be the same in other populations. Just the numbers would be different. For example, in energy balance, resistance would still be more beneficial for muscle mass, but subjects would build instead of loose muscle.

However, because the combined intervention improves cardiovascular health to the same extend as aerobic exercise only, isn’t that a better approach to overall health? Imo, the article shares this point of view.
Furthemore, what would you expect in 1) young, obsese adults and 2) young, overweight adults or 3) when subjects are in energy balance ?
