2.3.4. Body Composition 
Body composition was assessed using a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA; Tanita TBF521) after an overnight fast. The participants were requested not to perform any moderate or vigorous exercise for 24 h before testing and to abstain from eating or drinking for 2 h before testing. They were also asked to urinate immediately before the collection of the samples. Measurements were obtained while the participant was standing erect and barefoot on the analyzer’s footpads and wearing either a swimsuit or undergarments. Total body water (TBW) was estimated using the equation provided by the manufacturer. The instrument was calibrated before each evaluation using known resistors. Fat mass was determined using the equation devised by Sun et al. [
