Introduction: The health benefits of muscular fitness for youth are compelling. Current guidelines
recommend young people (5-17 years) engage in muscle-strengthening activities (e.g.,
resistance training [RT]) on at least three days per week. However, only 13% of Australians
aged 15-17 meet this guideline. Schools present a unique opportunity to introduce
adolescents to RT. However, few school-based physical activity interventions have
focused on RT, possibly due to reported barriers to delivery in schools. Moreover,
the majority of school-based interventions do not progress beyond pilot, efficacy/effectiveness
phases to be implemented at-scale. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the state-wide
