Comparable Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training and Prolonged Continuous Exercise Training on Abdominal Visceral Fat Reduction in Obese Young Women

Table 3

Pre- and postintervention levels and changes in body mass, % body fat, fat mass (FM) of whole-body, and regions of android, gynoid, and trunk, as well as abdominal visceral (AVFA) and subcutaneous (ASFA) fat areas in HIIT, MICT, and CON groups.

	HIIT ()		MICT ()		CON ()		2-way ANOVA value; (group, time, interaction)
	Pre	Post	Pre	Post	Pre	Post
Body mass (kg)							0.80; 0.00; 0.00
	% body fat (%)							0.00; 0.00; 0.00
Whole-body FM (kg)								0.04; 0.00; 0.00
	Android FM (kg)							0.00; 0.00; 0.00
Gynoid FM (kg)								0.19; 0.00; 0.00
	Trunk FM (kg)							0.01; 0.00; 0.01
AVFA (cm^2)								0.87; 0.00; 0.40
	ASFA (cm^2)							0.00; 0.00; 0.02
AVFA + ASFA (cm^2)								0.00; 0.00; 0.02
