Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 30). Fat mass %, fat-free mass %: values expressed as a percentage of body weight. Paired Wilcoxon stands for analyzing parameters changes between various time points. Data not sharing the same letter within a horizontal line are significantly different (P < 0.05). REE: resting energy expenditure.
