BAT = Balance and Tone; 1× RT = once-weekly resistance training; 2× RT = twice- weekly resistance training; BMI = weight in kilograms/height in square meters; Baseline Stroop and Trial completion Stroop performance = Stroop color words condition subtracted by Stroop coloured x's condition; Δ in Stroop = Stroop Baseline subtracted by Trial completion Stroop; Δ in Sub-total fat mass = Final fat mass subtracted by Baseline fat mass (a positive number represents an increase in fat mass and a negative number represents a decrease in fat mass); Δ in Sub-total lean mass = Final lean mass subtracted by Baseline lean mass (a positive number represents an increase in lean mass and a negative number represents a decrease in lean mass).
