Abstrakt:	Latina and Black/African American (AA) women report disproportionately low levels of muscle-strengthening activities (MSA) and high rates of related chronic health conditions. Despite the health benefits of MSA, physical activity intervention research in these populations has focused mostly on increasing aerobic physical activity. The purpose of this review was to describe the current state of scientific literature on MSA interventions among Latina and Black/AA women. Two electronic databases, CINAHL and PubMed, were searched for studies published during the past 10 years. Studies were included in this review if they reported promotion of MSA, included at least 50% Latina and/or Black/AA women in their samples, and used an interventional design. Search procedures identified 8 unique interventions targeting MSA in Latina (n = 3) and Black/AA women (n = 5). Results revealed there is limited published research on MSA promotion among Latina and Black/AA women, especially on theory-based interventions that address psychosocial and behavioral influences of MSA, as well as assessment of MSA outcomes in these populations. This review highlights a critical need for research on culturally tailored behavioral interventions to reduce the low MSA in Latina and Black/AA women and provides future research directions on this topic.
