Procedures The ten volunteers were fasted from midnight and they reported to the laboratory by 8-9 AM for the procedures. After having voided the bladder they were weighted to the nearest 0.1 kg and their heights were measured to the nearest 0.01 m with a estadiometer. Body mass was then calculated. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed with single-frequency (50 kHz) device (Bodystat 1500; Bodystat Ltd., Isle of Man, U.K.) using tetrapolar distal limb electrodes. TBW, fatty mass and lean body mass were calculated using regression equations programmed into the devices.
