Participants were instructed to wear light clothing prior to testing and subsequently asked to remove their shoes for measurements. Body mass was measured to the nearest 100 g using an electronic scale (Tanita Ultimate Scale, 2000; Tokyo, Japan) and waist and hip circumferences was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a standard tape measure as previously described (Welborn et al., 2003 (link)). Height was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a wall-mounted telescopic stadiometer (Seca220; Vogel and Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Height, body mass and waist and hip circumference measurements were measured in duplicate and the mean of the two measurements were analyzed. BMI and a waist to hip ratio were calculated as previously described (Keys et al., 1972 (link); Welborn et al., 2003 (link)). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to obtain the following measures of whole body composition: lean mass, body fat percentage, bone mineral content and density (Luna Corp. Prodigy Advance Model GE; Madison, WI, United States).

Body mass was measured to the nearest 100 g using an electronic scale (Tanita Ultimate Scale 2000; Tanita, Tokyo, Japan) and waist and hip circumferences recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a standard tape measure as previously described (Welborn et al. 2003 (link)). Height was recorded to the nearest 1 cm using a wall-mounted telescopic stadiometer (Seca220; Vogel & Halke, Hamburg, Germany). Height, body mass and waist and hip circumference measurements were measured in duplicate and the mean of the two measurements were analysed. Body mass index (BMI) and a waist-to-hip ratio were calculated as previously described (Welborn et al. 2003 (link); Keys et al. 1972 (link)). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was measured to determine body composition of total lean mass, body fat percentage, and whole-body bone mineral content and density (Luna Corp Prodigy Advance Model GE; Madison, WI, USA).
