Is it the resistance training itself or the combined associated weight loss that improves the metabolic syndrome-related phenotypes in postmenopausal women?

In this regard, it should be noted that although body weight and BMI reached borderline significance, these reductions were modest (from 68.9±13.3 kg to 68.1±13.2 kg, and from 28.4±5.0 kg/m 2 to 27.9±4.8 kg/m 2 , respectively), and with small effect sizes (0.05 and 0.09, respectively), while the reduction in WC was more compelling ( P <0.001) and with larger effect size (from 98.3±13.2 cm to 94.6±12.6 cm; effect size =0.30).
