Observed effect sizes for the 2-group and 3-group methods. 2G-RT = 2 group method resistance trained compared as to NRT. 3G-LIRT = 3-group method low-intensity resistance-trained; 3G-HIRT = 3-group method high-intensity resistance-trained; HG = combined left and right maximum handgrip strength; ABFLM = combined right and left arm bone-mineral-free lean mass; MQ = muscle quality (HG/ABFLM); AP = anteroposterior bone mineral density; LS = lateral spine bone mineral density; FN = femoral neck bone mineral density; TH = total hip bone mineral density; WB = whole body bone mineral density. The background colors denote effects size: red = low, yellow = moderate, green = high
