Study Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare two strategies intended to improve the health of overweight older adults by improving body composition. One strategy, resistance training, is designed to preserve skeletal muscle mass. The other strategy, the use of a PPAR-γ agonist, is designed to enhance the loss of fat from visceral and skeletal depots. These strategies will be used in conjunction with a hypocaloric diet and will be compared to a hypocaloric diet alone to determine if either of these strategies are superior in reducing visceral fat and preserving muscle mass.
Interventions
- DRUG Placebo
- DRUG Pioglitazone
- BEHAVIORAL Resistance exercise training to maximize muscle power
- BEHAVIORAL Hypocaloric diet
