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.
