Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Limited data are available regarding the impact of caloric restriction (CR) in combination with resistance training (RT) on the metabolic profile of postmenopausal women.', 'The objective of the study was to determine whether RT adds to CR in improving body composition and the metabolic profile.', 'This was a 6-month, randomized, clinical trial.', 'Patients included 107 postmenopausal women (body mass index >27 kg/m(2)).', 'The intervention was a 6-month CR alone or in combination with a RT program.', 'Fat mass (FM), lean body mass (LBM), abdominal sc fat and visceral fat, fasting lipids, insulin sensitivity, resting blood pressure, and inflammation markers were measured.', 'Both groups were similar at baseline and significantly decreased body weight, body mass index, FM, percent FM, abdominal sc fat, and visceral fat after the study (P < 0.001), with greater losses of percent FM and trunk FM in the CR + RT group (P < 0.05). LMB significantly decreased in the CR (-0.9 +/- 2.4 kg) and the CR+RT (-0.4 +/- 2.2 kg) groups (P < 0.005), with no difference between them. Both groups significantly improved plasma triglycerides, fasting insulin level, glucose disposal, and markers of the inflammation profile after weight loss (P < 0.05), with no difference between groups. No improvements were observed for the other variables of interest in both groups.
Output (English): Does resistance training contribute to improving the metabolic profile after a 6-month weight loss program in overweight and obese postmenopausal women?
