The two groups did not differ in aerobic fitness, total fat mass, or total and localized fat-free mass. Lipoxmax and MLOR were significantly lower in H-A/LB vs L-A/LB women (43 ± 3% VO2maxvs 54 ± 4% VO2max, and 4.8 ± 0.6 mg min−1 kg FFM−1vs 8.4 ± 0.9 mg min−1 kg FFM−1, respectively; P < 0.001). Total and abdominal fat mass measurements were negatively associated with Lipoxmax (r = –0.57 and r = –0.64, respectively; P < 0.01) and MLOR [r = –0.63 (P < 0.01) and r = –0.76 (P < 0.001), respectively].
