Abstract:
:The abdomen is the principal site of fat deposition in men, and because abdominal fat is readily mobilized during exercise, the relative proportion of fat in the abdominal site may negatively correlate with the amount of regular physical activity, and even with physical fitness. This study presents data for regional fatness in 165 fit young men (U.S. Army Ranger candidates; initial body fat = 14.7 +/- 4.7%) assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and for relative changes occurring following a 13% weight loss produced by a 1000 kcal.d-1 energy deficit over 8 wk. Fat-free mass was constant across quintiles of percent body fat; only fat mass was different (16.2 +/- 2.2 kg and 6.0 +/- 1.4 kg at upper and lower quintiles, respectively). Truncal fat accounted for about 41% of total body fat in all quintiles; only the proportion of fat distributed to the arms was significantly higher in the fattest quintiles of men. Among a group of less intensely trained soldiers with the same average fatness as the highest quintile of Ranger students (20%), relative fat distribution to the trunk approached 50% of the total fat. Following weight loss, Ranger students lost half of the fat in all regions assessed (legs, arms, and trunk). The only significant association between regional losses and initial fatness was a greater proportion of fat lost from the arms in the fattest Rangers. These data suggest a "fit fat" distribution in active young men in which fat remains in the arms and legs until extreme weight loss occurs and the metabolically more active abdominal fat approaches depletion.
