Summary

This study looks at how resistance training (like lifting weights) affects fat breakdown in obese postmenopausal women who 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 scientists will measure fat metabolism using special techniques. This is an observational study to gather knowledge, not a treatment trial.
