Resistance training, specifically the contraction of specific muscles against an external resistance, has been found to delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease and reduce Alzheimer's-associated behavioral issues, according to a study conducted on transgenic mice.

The findings suggest that resistance training could serve as a cost-effective therapeutic option for Alzheimer's patients.
