Sh‐S, sham sedentary; Ovx‐S, ovariectomized sedentary; Sh‐Rt, sham resistance training; Ovx‐Rt, ovariectomized resistance training. ∆ represents the percentage of increase or decrease in the body mass and food intake in relation to initial week.

Different superscripts (n = 10 per group): * denotes significantly different from sham sedentary; ** denotes significantly different from ovariectomy; *** denotes significantly different from resistance training. Groups are significantly different from each other at P < 0.05.
