Effect of Resistance Exercise Order on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Older Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Line 40. The sentence does not make sense. I believe the word "been" could be removed.
Did the authors use any strategies for participants to attend the exercise sessions?
Were there any differences in the groups once the data were compared after the dropouts? What are the characteristics of the participants that dropped out? Is an intention to treat analysis appropriate?
Did participants engage in 100% of sessions over the 12-week program?
Line 211 - the word without is misspelled (whithout)

Reviewer 2 Report
The design of this study is nota appropriate, not enough to be a RCT.

Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Authors,
I believe the paper has good scientific soundness and it is relevant.
However, the introduction section must be extended with more previous works to be cited.
Conversely, the Discussion section is a bit long and not easy to read. I would then suggest shortening it more synthetically.
Minor notes are present in the pdf file.
Best Regards
