Strength training also improves mental health, says Men's Health

Strength training not only has a positive effect on muscle mass and physical fitness but also on mental health. This is reported by Men's Health.

According to the source, regular strength training can contribute to a better mood and greater mental resilience. It is not clear which mechanisms are responsible for this, but the link is acknowledged.

These findings align with previous research on the benefits of exercise for mental health. It is not only about cardiovascular training but also about strength training.

People who engage in strength training often report more self-confidence and less stress. Men's Health therefore recommends combining strength training with other forms of exercise for overall health.
