Summary of Analyses of Potential Moderator Variables that Theoretically Could Influence the Effect Sizes of HT on Strength in Postmenopausal Women

Moderator Variable	Comparison	Between-Group p value
Previous HT use	Yes (n = 17; ES = 0.161)	.124
	No (n = 6; ES = 0.430)
Study design	Non-RCT studies (n = 18; ES = 0.161)	.104
	RCT studies (n = 5; ES = 0.455)
Type of muscle contraction	Isokinetic (n = 8; ES = 0.077)	.245
	Isometric (n = 20; ES = 0.265)

Note: ES = effect size; HT = hormone therapy; RCT = randomized controlled trial.
