Community-dwelling adults (aged 55+ years) with SVCI were randomly allocated to 12 months of twice-weekly (1) PRT using Keiser pressurised air machines and free weights or (2) a balance and tone control group (BAT), which included stretches and light exercises. Our main outcome was depressive symptoms, indexed using the 10-item Centres for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) at baseline, 6 months (midpoint) and 12 months (end of intervention). We examined treatment effects using a linear mixed model with restricted maximum likelihood estimation and followed the intention-to-treat principle.
