Table 5.
Within-group and between-group effects for anthropometric and body composition variables at the baseline and after 8-week intervention. Data are shown as mean (SD) and 95% CI for the mean at baseline and 8-week intervention and as mean differences and 95% CI for the differences for within- and between-group effects.
