The table presents median (Q1-Q3) values (except for the age, where median (min-max) is presented) characterising the participants. Body mass and body composition were determined using Body Composition Analyzer Tanita BC-418MA (Tanita, Tokyo, Japan). n – number of participants, BMI – body mass index, BMR – basal metabolic rate, FAT – percentage of fat, FFM – fat free mass, TBW – total body water.
