3.1. Participants
Details of the participant flow through the study are displayed in Ninety-three untrained older women were randomly assigned into four groups: (i) resistance training with deep seawater supplementation (RT+SW; n = 35); (ii) resistance training with placebo supplementation (RT+PLA; n = 35); (iii) control group (no exercise) with deep seawater supplementation (CON+SW; n = 11); (iv) control group (no exercise) with placebo supplementation (CON+PLA, n = 12). The baseline characteristics of the subjects are presented in Of the 109 women definitively randomized into the four groups, 93 started the intervention and 77 completed the 32-week intervention (dropout rate of 17.2%). At the end of the training program (Week 32), the attendance rate was approximately 75%.
