Female athletes had much greater muscle mass than controls. In large-sized female athletes, the influence of FFAT needs to be considered when interpreting their FFM. In addition, the largest SM index in female athletes was 13.2 kg/m2 , which was approximately 77% of that observed with the largest male athlete ever recorded. This difference appears similar to that observed in nonathletes.
