a,bMeans on the same row with the same superscript letter are not significantly different (P > 0.05). SE = standard error of the mean. Means have been adjusted according to the covariates included in the model. Model 1 included age, race, and year of assessment as covariates. Model 2 included age, race, year, pack-years of smoking, other physical activity, and BMI. Model 3 included the same covariates as Model 2 plus waist circumference. Model 4 included the same covariates as Model 2 plus fat-free mass. Model 5 included the same covariates as Model 2 plus body fat percent. Model 6 included the same covariates as Model 2 plus the fat-free mass index. Model 7 included the same covariates as Model 2 plus waist circumference, fat-free mass (kg), body fat percentage, and the fat-free mass index. For the categories representing minutes of strength training, None included men reporting ≤10 minutes per week of strength training. Low included men reporting >10 minutes per week and <60 minutes per week, Moderate included men reporting ≥ to 60 minutes per week and < 120 minutes per week, and High included men reporting ≥120 minutes per week.
