Lifting weights may boost fat metabolism in older women at risk for diabetes

This study looks at how resistance training (like lifting weights) affects fat breakdown in obese postmenopausal women who also have prediabetes. Researchers want to see if this type of exercise can improve how the body uses fat, which might help prevent type 2 diabetes. The study involves 120 women who will do resistance training for 12 weeks, and their fat metabolism will be measured before and after.
