Resistance Exercise for Older Women with Obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised resistance exercise program (like lifting weights) can help older women with obesity improve their health. It is designed for women who are able to exercise safely and want to see if strength training can make a difference.
