It’s for this reason that bodybuilders, who can minimize their body fat to the “essential fat” level only do so when prepping for a show – during the rest of the year they maintain a higher body fat percentage so that they can stay healthy and function properly. If you are looking...
Finally, the authors also tested whether the effect of early soda introduction differed depending on whether they were breastfed for at least six months. They found that the association of early soda introduction with the rate of change for percent fat mass in childhood was similar, but slightly...
Percent body fat was used determined from the sum of six skinfolds and upper and lower muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was calculated from anthropometric data.Upper and lower body absolute peak (P=0.035, P=0.002) and mean (P=0.005, P=0.031) power were higher in the RL group compared ...
Body weight was greater, as was prevalence of neuropathy, among those persons in higher versus lower HbA1c categories. Total, appendicular, and trunk lean mass were all significantly different in both men and women by HbA1c categories (both p<0.001). Percent body fat also significantly differed...
3.3. Total Fat Mass and Percent Body Fat’s Relationship with On-Field, In-Game Performance A significant correlation was observed between lower total fat mass and greater distances covered at moderate-intensity (r = −0.674, p = 0.03) and high-intensity running (r = −0.701, p = 0.02...
body adiposity; and (c) these associations will be moderated by sex. Participants (n= 83; >45 years; 59% women) were a subsample of a larger church-based intervention to reduce cardiovascular risks and were assessed at baseline and after 6 months. Body adiposity (BMI/hip/waist circumference...
The researchers found that vascular brain injury increased with increasingbody fatpercentage, with the fourth quartile value at 8.6 percent, and with increasing visceral adipose tissue (VAT), with the fourth quartile value at 7.2 percent. There was an association observed between lower cognitive scores...
Results During the study, more than ninety percent of patients showed volumetric change by fat reduction at the treated area, with an average of 2.7ml. Sixty percent of patients were either "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the tightening effects. The treatments were accompanied only by very...
Refined grain intake was not associated with any measure of body fat distribution. Cereal fiber was inversely associated with BMI [27.3 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (26.1–28.6) vs. 25.4 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (24.3–26.7); P-trend = 0.012], percent body fat [34.7% (32.8–36.6) vs. 31.5% (...
