While improvements in force production andmobilitymeasures
provide evidence of the physiologic efficacy of resistance training,
such results are of little relevance if they do not produce concur-
rent, clinically meaningful QOL benefits. The change in the overall
PDQ-39 score induced by high intensity resistance training appears
to have been driven in part by significant changes in the physical
subsections (activities of daily living, bodily discomfort). These
results are consistent with those studies that report improvements
in disease specific QOL outcomes using other exercise modes
[20–24]. While these outcomes appear to be clinically significant,
