a decreasing trendp = 0.075
an increasing trendp = 0.273
Interestingly, although not statistically different, a post-test revealed an increasing trend for weight (kg: p = 0.273, d = 0.61373) but a decreasing trend for waist circumference (cm: p = 0.075, d = 2.19522), which could indicate a slight positive effect on body composition from the 8 weeks of training in terms of decreased waist circumference (102.4 cm to 100.4 cm).
