BMI= body mass index, BIA = bioelectrical impedance, DEXA = dual energy x ray absorptiometry, LBM = lean body mass, Waist C = waist circumference, WHR = waist to hip ratio, MVPA = moderate to vigorous physical activity. VO2 = oxygen consumption, HR = heart rate, VE = ventilation, VT = ventilatory threshold.

Between group values with same symbol (* or **) are significantly different (P≤0.05).

Within group values with same symbol († or ‡) are significantly different.
