Data presented as mean ± SE. Body-fat (%) refers to estimation via skinfold measures. BIA denotes bioelectrical impedance analysis. FM = fat-mass; FFM = fat-free mass; PA = phase angle; TBW = total body water; ICW = intracellular water; ECW = extracellular water. Hydration markers from BIA. * denotes significantly different to male cohort, p ≤ 0.05.
