Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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 | — |
