REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence
Methodology
Meta-analysis
Population

Intervention
Different RT volumes in postmenopausal/older women
Findings
Higher-volume resistance training enhanced whole-body hypertrophy in postmenopausal and older women, showing this population responds to volume and supporting progressive volume increases for older females.
Outcome measures
Whole-body muscle hypertrophy
Limitations
Secondary analysis; limited studies in this specific population; heterogeneity.
