Summary

The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on insulin resistance, blood lipid profiles, body composition, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with obesity. Thirty-six postmenopausal women participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 18) or the control group (CON, n = 18). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition were measured before and after 12 weeks of EX or CON.

Conditions

• Metabolic Syndrome
• Dyslipidemias
• Insulin Resistance
