n – number of participants; CH_D [cm] – chest circumference difference; WAIST [cm] – waist circumference; HIP [cm] – hip circumference; T_MAX [cm] – maximum thigh circumference; T_MID [cm] – thigh circumference at mid-length; CALF [cm] – shank circumference; DS – physically inactive Deaf students (control group); DS – physically inactive Deaf students (control group); p – significance level (p < 0.05 indicates statistical significance); χ²(df = 2) – Friedman’s chi-square test statistic for repeated measures (nonparametric ANOVA equivalent; W (Kendall’s coefficient of concordance) – effect size measure indicating agreement among repeated measures (ranges from 0 to 1; higher values denote stronger effect); Cohen’s d – effect size for comparison between 2021 and DS; (0.20 = small, 0.50 = medium, 0.80 = large effect).
