  1. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. BMI body mass index, VF visceral fat area, SF subcutaneous fat area; *Log-transformed variables for non-normally distributed variables (body mass, total fat mass, VF) were used. P value for difference between heavyweight Judo and football groups was assessed by unpaired t test. Significant differences, P < 0.05
