A fair number of studies have shown reduced late life mortality to correlate with, or result from, programs of resistance exercise. While a great many studies of aerobic exercise have indicated that at very high levels of exercise there is increased mortality versus more modest programs of exertion, in other words that the dose-response curve is U-shaped, it isn’t completely clear that this is also the case for resistance exercise. While a fair number of studies have taken place, there isn’t as much evidence to assess. This short paper provides a high level discussion of the present state of knowledge and some references to follow up on for those interested in the details.
