Association study
Cardiac Adipose, Appendicular + Trunk
The mean age of the participants was 23.5 ±6.0 years of age. Data on PFit, PA, and diet are reported as means, standard deviations, minimum and maximum values as shown in Characteristics of the sample (n=26).CON, control group; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; HICT, high-intensity circuit training; BW, Body weight; BMI, Body Mass Index; %BF, % body fat; FM, Fat mass; LBM, Lean body mass; BMC, Bone Mineral Content; FFM, Free Fat Mass; TA-Fat ratio, (Appendicular + Trunk) to total Fat ratio; VAT, Visceral Adipose Tissue; SMM, Total Body Skeletal Muscle; CAT, Cardiac Adipose Tissue; 1RM-LP, 1 Max Rep Leg Press; 1RM-BP, 1 Rep Max Bench Press; rVO2, Relative VO2 peak; aVO2, Absolute VO2; LPA, Low Physical Activity; MPA, Moderate Physical Activity; VPA, Vigorous Physical Activity; MVPA, Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity; %ST, percent sedentary time; SFA, Saturated Fatty Acids; MUFA, Monounsaturated Fatty Acids; PUFA, Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids; CHO, Carbohydrates.Association analyses between CAT, PA, PFit levels, and dietary macronutrients and sugars revealed moderate to high (0.3 – 0.7) significant associations (Analyses examining the PA data showed positive associations between all levels of activity and upper-body lean mass (LPA: Diet composition analyses revealed positive associations between daily energy intake and waist circumference (
