Effects of Exercise Mode on Fat Loss
Study the effects of different exercise modes on total and regional adiposity variation in
subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (VAT and SAT). The investigators hypothesize that
total abdominal will improve for all the exercise groups compared to the control group. When
comparing intervention groups: 1) no differences on the degree of improvement in total
abdominal fat depots (VAT and SAT) 2) different degree of change when comparing specific
sections at VAT and SAT are expected.
