  1. 1 BAT = Balance and Tone; 1x RT = once-weekly resistance training; 2x RT = twice-weekly resistance training; yr = year; kg = kilogram; MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination; sec = seconds.
  2. 2 Count = number of "yes" cases within each group. % = percent of "yes" within each group.
  3. 3 Brain volume = mm3.
