Key Themes:

• Minimal Dose Resistance Training Effectiveness: The study aimed to assess the long-term effectiveness of minimal dose resistance training, which is a key component of public health guidelines, promoting long-term engagement.
• Longitudinal Strength Adaptations: Few studies have investigated long-term strength changes with resistance training. This study aimed to address this gap by examining strength development over a longer period than typically explored in intervention studies.
• Plateau Phenomenon: Previous research, primarily in athletic populations, has suggested a "plateau" in strength gains after several years of training. This study examined this phenomenon in a large cohort engaged in a standardized minimal dose program.
