Benitez, Tanya J.; Dunsiger, Shira; Marquez, Becky; Larsen, Britta; Pekmezi, Dori; Marcus, Bess H. – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Background: Only 17% of Latinas meet national physical activity (PA) guidelines for both moderate-to-vigorous aerobic and muscle-strengthening PA. Additional health benefits are derived from the combination of aerobic and muscle-strengthening PA (vs. aerobic alone), yet there is paucity in research on muscle-strengthening activity in Latinas. The…
