My name is Maria Fernandez, and my research team and I are conducting a research study on the effects of exercise training on changing fat distribution and chemistries. We are seeking overweight white females. Including all of the pre- and post-assessments, and exercise training, the study will last about a month. Your body composition will be assessed and blood will be drawn to study some chemistries of interest. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an exercise intervention group or non-exercise control group. However both groups will be trained on several weight lifting techniques during the pre-assessment week. The exercise training will involve the whole body. It will include 3 visits per week, taking about an hour of your time. All participants will be required to attend to either the exercise or control sessions. These will take place at the ESS building, across from the tennis courts, near the Rec Center. If you are interested in learning more about this study, please email at maria.fernandez-del-valle@ttu.edu.
This study has been approved by the Human Research Protection Program at Texas Tech University.
