Are resistance and aerobic exercise training equally effective at improving knee muscle strength and balance in older women?

Highlights • RE and AE elicit similar improvements in balance of small to large magnitude. • Improvements in leg strength after RE are very likely superior compared to AE. • Increasing leg strength adds meaningful improvements in balance performance.
