2. Figure 1
Fat distribution (kilograms and % fat weight) before and after a 12-week diet and exercise weight-loss program in obese men. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Ant Sub Q = anterior subcutaneous abdominal fat; Post Sub Q = posterior subcutaneous fat; Peripheral = fat not on the chest wall.

3. Figure 2
Lung volumes (% TLC) before and after a 12-week diet and exercise weight-loss program in obese men. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < .05. ERV = expiratory reserve volume; FRC = functional residual capacity; RV = residual volume; % TLC = percent total lung capacity.

4. Figure 3
EELV (% TLC) at rest and during exercise before and after a 12-week diet and exercise weight-loss program. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < .05. EELV = end-expiratory lung volume; e = minute ventilation; VTh = ventilatory threshold. See Figure 2 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.

5. Figure 4
Pga at end inspiration, peak expiration, and end expiration (cm H2O) at rest and during exercise before and after a 12-week diet and exercise weight-loss program. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < .05; **P < .01; bn = 8; cn = 7. Pga = gastric pressure. See Figure 3 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.
