Fig. 2. Box and whisker plots of the (A) body mass (Mb)
standardized surface areas and average fractal dimensions of profiles
extracted along the axes (B) parallel and (C) perpendicular to the axis of
soft tissue attachment (STA) of the attachment sites, as illustrated in
Fig. 1. Values for the control
group are indicated with black boxes and for the exercised group with white
boxes. Boxes represent the interquartile range, or 50% of the values, and the
line across the box indicates the median. The whiskers indicate the spread of
observed values that fall within 1.5 times the interquartile range. Outliers
are designated with (X) if they are between 1.5x and 3x the
interquartile range, and (
) if they fall outside 3x this range.
Attachment sites: INF, Infraspinatus insertion; BB, Biceps brachii insertion;
QF, Quadriceps femoris insertion; GO, Gastrocnemius origin; GI, Gastrocnemius
insertion; MSTR, Masseter insertion.
