Both aerobic and resistance training significantly reduce microalbuminuria in middle-aged, android-obese men, suggesting cardiovascular and renal protection.
Engaging in either aerobic or resistance training for 10 weeks can significantly reduce microalbuminuria, a marker of kidney stress and cardiovascular risk, in overweight middle-aged men.
