  1. PreMeno = pre-menopause; PostMeno = post-menopause; MI-RT = moderate-intensity resistance training; LI-RT = low-intensity resistance training; FFM = fat-free mass; FM = fat mass; MM = muscle mass; VL = vastus lateralis; RF = rectus femoris; TB = triceps brachii; GS = grip strength; 1-RM SQ = one repetition maximum squat; 1-RM BP = one repetition maximum bench press; Significant time effects were set at p ≤ .05 and were marked with *. If no difference was identified between the groups over time, this was assumed for all groups. Time*group differences were marked with #. The Premeno MI-RT group was used as a control treatment and the curves of the two post-menopausal groups were compared. Trends (p < .10) showing potential statistical differences between two groups and were marked with §
