  1. Values are represented as means (SD)
  2. Categorical variables: N (%)
  3. BMI considers as the collinear variable for anthropometrics and body composition variables
  4.

  5. ANCOVA (p-value*) was performed to adjust potential confounding factors (age, BMI, energy intake, physical activity)
  6. p-values < 0.05 were considered as significant
  7. a significant difference was seen between T1 and T2
  8. b significant difference was seen between T1 and T3
  9. c significant difference was seen between T2 and T3
