Figure 3 (A,B and C):Skinfold thickness reduction on three out of five "low-responsive" skinfolds  

Simultaneously with bioelectrical impedance and anthropometrical assessments, we examined subcutaneous fat stores by plicometries. Results are expressed in mm, means ± SD (at top). Only Tricipital (see panel A) and Subscapular (see panel B) skinfold assessments demonstrated significant or nearly significant differences by comparing group G2 and the control P for the effect of TREATMENT or the INTERACTION (see statistical analysis details in the text).
 
It is also shown the data obtained for Suprailiac (see panel C) skinfold. Concerning these series of low responsive skinfolds, no relevant difference between groups was raised after pairwise comparisons of each treatment weeks' record with its corresponding basal value: by Scheffé test, * p<0.03, ** p<0.0005
