Analyzing the results by sex, male SI showed a negative trend in association with thigh skinfold ( p = 0.081) and a positive trend with thigh perimeter ( p = 0.060).
Analyzing the results by sex, male SI showed a negative trend in association with thigh skinfold ( p = 0.081) and a positive trend with thigh perimeter ( p = 0.060).
Age ( p = 0.081) also showed a trend toward negative association with SI.
However, in the whole sample, VO 2max was maintained in the last equation of the backward regression model as an independent predictor variable for SI, with values close to significance.
Very vigorous PA ( p = 0.096) and aerobic capacity ( p = 0.079) also demonstrated a positive trend with SI.
