Linear mixed models were performed for anthropometrics to test for differences between treatments over time. Time, treatment, period, gender, and time × treatment interaction were used as fixed factors, and participant and intercept as random factors. An autoregressive covariance structure was used. When the interaction term (time × treatment) did not reach statistical significance (P > 0.05), it was removed from the model to calculate the treatment effect.
