A Pearson correlations of the associations between fat mass (%) with reserve capacity for males and females. B Partial correlation of the associations between thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) with maximal oxygen consumption rate (OCR) for males and females adjusting for fat mass. Partial correlation value between thigh SAT and maximal OCR for all subjects was r = 0.04, p = 0.8. All variables were natural log transformed for analyses
