Energy balance
A-mode ultrasound (US) can provide a similar degree of accuracy for tracking group-based fat loss in women compared to air displacement plethysmography (ADP).
Researchers and practitioners can consider US as a viable option for monitoring group-based changes in body fat over time.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The current findings indicate that US can provide a similar degree of accuracy for tracking group-based fat loss in women compared to ADP.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
