Table 3. Correlation coefficients (r) between peak fat oxidation (PFO) rate in absolute units (g.min-1) and relative to fat free mass (FFM) and the following variables: body mass index (BMI), FFM, percent body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, VO2max per kg body mass (ml.Kg-1.min-1) and VO2max per kg FFM (ml.Kg FFM-1.min-1).
