Another look at spot reduction
July 20th, 2007 | by admin |It is generally believed that it is impossible to spot reduce. This study used modern measuring techniques to measure subcutaneous fat in trained and untrained arms after resistance training.
When measured by skinfold, subcutaneous fat decreased in the trained arm and not the untrained arm in the men. MRI measurements of subcutaneous fat were not different between arms. The MRI is a more sensitive measurement than skinfold measurements.
