If the subject chose to do the opposite, ie, not follow a specific exercise program, body composition might not be affected.
While our study did not contain a follow-up of body composition, it might be interesting to link both data (BMI and body composition) in order to evaluate the evolution of bodily compartments with the number of diets.
The terms small, appropriate, and large for gestational age cannot identify some alterations in body composition that might be identified by the ponderal index.
Additionally, since changes in body composition might influence the risk of disease later in life, 4 18 19 it is important to identify these changes, beyond those measured through BMI.
Because of the gender differences in muscle strength or body composition, the analysis might be better to be carried out on the gender basis.
Since chemical composition of the body fluids might be considered as constancy, biodegradation of calcium orthophosphate coatings, films and layers is controlled by the properties of calcium orthophosphates themselves, which include their chemical composition, Ca/P ratio, crystal structure, crystallinity, porosity, lattice defects, particle sizes and purity (de Groot et al. 1998).
Studies relating maternal smoking during pregnancy with direct measures of body composition in the offspring might be important since adverse body composition and especially unfavourable fat distribution are important contributors to metabolic syndrome outcomes [ 14].
Therefore, by comparing our results to those of previous investigations, it appears the genetic influences on an individual's body composition (cross-sectional association) might be different, and perhaps higher, than the way their body composition responds to PA.
Therefore, no therapeutic benefit as regards improving body composition in obese humans might be foreseen.
