At baseline, height and body weight (Seca 888 scale) were measured to calculate BMI. Waist and abdominal circumference was measured with a measuring tape (Seca 201) to calculate waist to hip ratio. Resting heart rate and blood pressure were measured in a supine position, after a 5‐minute rest period. Before and after the training period, a total body dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry scan was performed to determine lean body mass and total fat (QDR 4500 densitometer, Hologic Inc.). Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass, VAT volume, and VAT area were calculated with standardized Hologic Software with results that correlate excellent with gold standard techniques for the measurement of VAT (18 (link)).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
