Summary:Yildiray Topcu,1 Fatih Tufan,2 M Akif Karan1 1Department of Geriatrics, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, 2Department of Gerontology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Istanbul University, Istanbul, TurkeyWe read the valuable article of Oliveira et al1 entitled "Resistance training improves isokinetic strength and metabolic syndrome-related phenotypes in postmenopausal women" with interest. In their well-designed prospective study, the authors observed improvement in metabolic syndrome-related phenotypes after 12 weeks of resistance training. We have some comments that could facilitate interpretation of the results of this study.
