Resistance Training Modulation of Fat Metabolism in Postmenopausal Women with Obesity

Abstract

- Participants will undergo 12 weeks of either resistance or endurance training and both their regional lipolytic activity and whole-body fat metabolism will be assessed before and after the exercise training.
- Our study hopes to yield results that will have implications on improving health guidelines to prevent diabetes and other metabolism related disorders in postmenopausal women.
- Our hypothesis is that both resistance and endurance training will have positive impacts on fat metabolism by increasing lipolytic flexibility.
