The effects of resistance training on individuals with clusters of metabolic risk factors: focus on functional capacities, clinical outcomes and quality of life
The prevalence of high numbers of metabolic risk factors (HiMF) associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased considerably over the past two decades. Lifestyle factors including physical inactivity are major components …
