Resistance Training Modulation of Fat Metabolism in Postmenopausal Women with Obesity

Abstract

Through our research, we aim to better understand the possible positive outcomes of regular exercise in preventing diabetes in postmenopausal women. We hope to provide these women with greater insight into improving their health. Our study involves participants undergoing twelve weeks of a guided exercise program, focusing on either resistance or endurance training. Using microdialysis, we evaluate their fat metabolism and lipolytic activity before and after the exercise interventions. Microdialysis is a minimally invasive approach to collecting extracellular fluid from the interstitial space of tissues in the body; for this study, we focus on subcutaneous gluteal and abdominal adipose tissue.
