Changes in fat and skeletal muscle with exercise training in obese adolescents: Comparison of whole‐body MRI and dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry

Abstract

We examined skeletal muscle (SM) and fat distribution using whole‐body MRI in response to aerobic (AE) versus resistance exercise (RE) training in obese adolescents and whether DXA provides similar estimates of fat and SM change as MRI.
