The control group did not receive any intervention, but the test group did functional resistance training group 24 sessions over 8 weeks three sessions per week at a local gym. Glucose (mg/dL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)/low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG, mg/dL), and cholesterol (Chol, mg/dL).
Data are presented as means ± SD.
