Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
body composition (i.e. % body fat, body weight, lean body mass) via dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan[before and after the 16 week intervention];markers of insulin resistance (i.e. fasting glucose, fasting insulin) via serum analysis.[before and after the 16 week intervention]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
markers of inflammation (i.e. Interleukin-1 [IL-1], Interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], C-reactive protein [CRP]) via serum analysis[before and after the 16 week intervention];muscle strength (1-RM for 22 exercises)[before and after the 16 week intervention; after every 12th exercise session for the intervention group (in order to progress the resistive load)]
