Strength training exercise has been an effective intervention that yields physical and psychological benefits. This qualitative study aimed to explore and identify the perceived factors to maintain long-term strength training programs among women, and to examine the association of these factors with psychological and emotional health. Seventeen face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with women aged 35–81 (M = 54.6) over a five-month span. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and manually coded. Data was analyzed using a thematic analysis. Most of the women had been strength training for over a decade (82.4%). A primary theme: Emotional Resilience will be highlighted in this study. Additional subthemes include I Feel Good, I Feel Better; Calm Emotions and Reduce Stress, and A Boost in Confidence. Strength training exercise plays a role to enhance women's mental focus and emotional resilience needed to cope with adversity. Health professionals and policy makers may need to consider strength training as a useful practice that can lead to improvements in self-confidence, quality of life, and physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
