Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction of the glycated hemoglobin level after 16 weeks of strength training, verified by blood plasma analysis, from the observation of a variation of at least 0.6% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement of the body composition after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through total abdomen visceral adipose tissue, thigh adipose tissue, thigh muscle tissue, fat mass, and fat-free mass, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post-intervention measurements;Improvement of the metabolic aspects after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through 24-hour glycemic curve and variability, fasting glucose, postprandial glycaemia, plasm insulin, insulin resistance, and blood lipids, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post-intervention measurements;Improvement of the cardiovascular aspects after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through 24-hour blood pressure, resting blood pressure, and resting heart rate variability, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post-intervention measurements;Increase of the cardiorespiratory fitness after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through one-mile walk/run test, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post-intervention measurements;Increase of the muscle strength after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through one-repetition maximum test, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post -intervention measurements;Increase of the muscle quality after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through relationship between thigh muscle mass and lower limb muscle strength, from the observation of a significant change in the pre- and post-intervention measurements;Increase of the resting metabolic rate after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through indirect calorimetry, from the observation of a significant change in pre- and post-intervention measurements;Improvement of the quality of life after 16 weeks of strength training, verified through quality of life questionnaire, from the observation of a significant change in the pre- and post-intervention measurements;Increase of the enjoyment at physical exercise after 16
