Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the correlation between muscle endurance parameters evaluated by six-minute walk test (6MWT, distance walked), push up test (number performed) and electronic hand grip dynamometer (duration of grip for each variation/fatigue index) in healthy human volunteersTimepoint: Baseline (day 0), 1 week and 2 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the repeatability of hand grip dynamometry (standardized protocol according to primary objective) for evaluating muscle endurance in healthy human volunteersTimepoint: Baseline (day 0), 1 week and 2 weeks;To evaluate and compare the effect of physiological differences (age, gender, body-mass index, body composition and physical activity) on muscle endurance parameters evaluated using six-minute walk test (6MWT), push up test and hand grip dynamometryTimepoint: Baseline (Day 0), 1 week and 2 weeks
