BMI: body mass index; LBM: lean body mass, : maximum power; METS: metabolic equivalent, HRmax: maximal heart rate. Waist circumference was measured midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest at the end of expiration [18]. Hip circumference was measured at the widest point between the iliac crest and buttock [18].
Note: predicted 60% VO2max is the mean value that was aimed for while the 60% VO2max was the mean value that was achieved among the study subjects.
