[ ] Re: 11 miles a week (fat loss) Rodney,Decreased visceral fat(-6.9 +/- 20.8%; P = 0.038) means that theaverage visceral fat lost was 6.9% with a range from +20.8 to -20.8%and a confidence correspodning to P=0.038 (which is very confident).Since 20.8% of 6.9 is 1.44, the authors could have said that the rangeof visceral fat loss was -5.46% to -8.34%.

You don't think it refers to a range of -27.7% loss to a gain of 13.1% for individuals in the set, which would include 96.2% of expected cases?

However, by using the meanwe can see that visceral fat and subcutaneous fat is lost at the samerate ~7.0%. This basically re-states the well-known principle thatyou cannot target fat loss to just the stomach. When you lose fat,you lose it throughout your body.Tony--- In , "Rodney" <perspect1111@y...>wrote:> Hi Willie:> > Perhaps you could clarify for us what this, from the abstract,means:> > "The highest amount of exercise resulted in decreased visceral(-6.9 > +/- 20.8%; P = 0.038) and subcutaneous (-7.0 +/- 10.8%; P < 0.001) > abdominal fat.

--Similarly, wouldn't this be a range of a loss of -17.8% to a gain of 3.8%, incorporating everybody, for the crazed exercisers?
