The Effect of Resistance Training Interventions on 'The Self' in Youth: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

This is the first review to synthesise research on the effects of isolated RT interventions on 'the self'. The findings indicate that RT has a positive impact on some aspects of 'the self' in youth. More high-quality studies should be conducted to further investigate this topic. If validated, this type of intervention could have a positive impact on 'the self' and ultimately improve the health of individuals not only during childhood but as they progress through life.
