Abstract
Advancing age and estrogen deficiency increases susceptibility of post-menopausal women (PMW) to abdominal obesity and manifestation of cardiometabolic disease. There is limited evidence on the effect of lifestyle interventions on adiposity markers within at-risk PMW. Therefore, this study aims to e...

Therefore, this study aims to evaluates an 8-weeks of home-based, equipment-free, interval training (HEFIT) with or without Mediterranean-style diet (MD) on adiposity markers in physically inactive, postmenopausal women with overweight/obesity.
