What the research found
Study (small training trial, described in a 21 September 2026 UNC Nutrition Research Institute briefing). Abbie Smith-Ryan reported a six-week high-intensity resistance program in perimenopausal women: two ~30-minute sessions a week with significant strength gains plus signals for muscle quality and early bone changes. Briefing, not a large multicenter RCT; sample size not fully reported in the public note. Educational exercise notes for midlife women, not a menopause drug substitute.
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
