The intervention group had a significantly lower visceral fat area (Z = -6.79, P < 0.001) compared to the control group.
Implementing goal attainment theory-based interventions can effectively reduce visceral fat in physically inactive emerging adults.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The results indicate that the visceral fat area was significantly lower in the intervention group (Z = -6.79, P < 0.001).
Why this rating
Based on randomized controlled trial design.
