Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.

Too bad they focus entirely on strength training. I exercise to manage my weight, improve my mood, and improve long term health benefits.

Increased strength would help with all of the above…

Exactly! I started powerlifting training as a route to weight control. More muscle mass equals more resting calorie burning.

You burn a ton while lifting too, assuming you're only taking reasonable breaks between sets and/or circuit.

In fact, energy restriction + high protein + resistance training appears to be the best of all for losing fat:

Not to say aerobic exercise isn't important - far from it - but if you want to lose fat, caloric deficit plus hi protein plus lifting wins.
