Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Clenbuterol	Participants ingest 80 micrograms clenbuterol daily during the initial 8-week period. This period is followed by a washout of 16 weeks with no drug and resistance training. Thereafter, an 8-week period with supervised resistance training is commenced, with no drug.
DRUG	Placebo	Participants ingest placebo tablets daily during the initial 8-week period. This period is followed by a washout of 16 weeks with no drug and resistance training. Thereafter, an 8-week period with supervised resistance training is commenced, with no drug.
