Effect of time since transitioning from a vertical to a supine position on intracellular water (A), extracellular water (B), and total body water (C) over 15 minutes as assessed via the RJL Quantum Legacy analyzer (N=38). Open circles represent individual responses. *Denotes a statistically significant decrease from baseline over the course of 15-minutes resting in a supine position (p<0.05).

Effect of time since transitioning from a vertical to a supine position on phase angle (A), and body fat percentage (B) over 15 minutes as assessed via the RJL Quantum Legacy analyzer (N=38). Open circles represent individual responses. *Denotes a statistically significant increase from baseline over the course of 15-minutes resting in a supine position (p<0.05).

Fig. 4
Bland and Altman plots of individual differences for the effect of time since transitioning from a vertical to a supine position on reactance (left side) and resistance (right side) (N = 38). The solid line represents a mean difference (bias) of zero. The dashed lines denote the upper and lower limits-of-agreement (bias ± [1.96×SD of the bias]). R2 represents the amount of variance explained by the average resistance or reactance. *p<0.05 significant systematic bias.

Bland and Altman plots of individual differences for the effect of time since transitioning from a vertical to a supine position on intracellular water (ICW: left side), extracellular water (ECW: middle), and total body water (TBW: right side) (N = 38). The solid line represents a mean difference (bias) of zero. The dashed lines denote the upper and lower limits-of-agreement (bias ± [1.96×SD of the bias]). R2 represents the amount of variance explained by the average ICW, ECW, or TBW. *p<0.05 significant systematic bias.
