1. Aerobic Exercise Attenuates the Loss of Skeletal Muscle during Energy Restriction in Adults with Visceral Adiposity
Obes Facts 2014;7: DOI: /
Fig. 1. Percent changes in BW, FM, and FFM (as measured by the underwater method), and thigh muscle area (as measured by CT). Decreases in BW, FM, FFM, and LDMA were similar in both groups. Decreases in CSA and NDMA were greater in the DO group compared with the D/Ex group. **p < 0.01 and ***p < versus baseline. †The interaction effect was statistically significant. N.S. = Not significant; DO = diet-induced weight loss only; D/Ex = diet-induced weight loss with aerobic exercise; BW = body weight; FM = fat mass; FFM = fat-free mass; CSA = cross-sectional area; LDMA = low-density muscle area; NDMA = normal-density muscle area.
