Looking for prevalence data/publication on number of Canadians meeting resistance training guidelines (muscle and bone strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least two days per week).
HI Jennifer,
Though not of much help, I could best do this for you:

Much appreciated Aamir. I had come across the first 2 as well. I am surprised to find very little out there.
Cheers,
Jennifer
Dear Jennifer,
you're right, there is a lack of information regarding the prevalence of engaging in resistance training among Canadian adults, and specifically older adult. But I think you can use the following new thesis “An examination of resistance training behaviours among older adults in Alberta” by Erin A. Bampton (Athabasca University; April 2015): https://dt.athabascau.ca/jspui/bitstream/10791/153/7/Bampton%20Thesis%20April%2022%202015.pdf
Best wishes from Germany
