Key: Baseline characteristics.The values of the continuous variables were presented as mean and standard deviation, whereas the categorical variable (gender) was presented as percentages. * Non-normal distribution (median and IQR, tested by Mann—Whitney test). Key: BMI, body mass index; CR, caloric restriction; CR + BRJ, caloric restriction with beetroot juice; EI, energy intake; FFM, fat-free mass; FM, fat mass; HSG, hand-grip strength; IPAQ, international physical activity questionnaire; IQR, interquartile range; Anthropometry, body composition, hand-grip strength, and resting energy expenditure.Repeated measure ANOVA was used to evaluate the effect of the interventions on the selected outcomes. An independent T-test was used to compare the difference in the percent change.
