The study includes postmenopausal women. The subjects participate in resistance training (twice a week) for each session consisted of 6 exercises: horizontal seated leg press, seated chest press, leg extension, shoulder press, lat pull-down seated row, seated cable row.~During the 24-weeks training programme participants are supplemented by carnitine with leucine, or leucine alone (placebo).
The primary aim of the current research project is to explore whether carnitine supplementation and resistance training may prevent decrements in bone mineral density of aged women.~A secondary aim of this project is to investigate the effect of supplementation on body composition and blood markers.
