Changes in study parameters for 132 women who completed the 6 month diet and exercise program. Data are shown as mean±SD. Insulin sensitivity (liter/mU−1•min−1) was determined by the minimal model.

| Fat Mass (kg) | 38.7 ± 11.7 | 36.8 ± 11.8 | −15.7 – +4.8 | < 0.001 |
| Total Extremity Muscle Mass (kg) | 21.6 ± 3.8 | 21.3 ± 4.1 | −5.1 – +3.2 | 0.002 |
| Exercise Duration (sec) | 411 ± 104 | 457 ± 116 | +199 – −81 | < 0.001 |
| Peak VO2 (ml/kg/min) | 23.9 ± 5.3 | 25.5 ± 5.8 | +10.0 – −4.3 | < 0.001 |
| Insulin Sensitivity Index | 3.9 ± 2.4 | 3.8 ± 2.1 | −5.8 – +5.3 | 0.987 |
