Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Muscle strength is measured by using a Handheld Dynamometer. 2. Muscle Mass is measured by using BIA. 3. Physical performance is measured by using the Short Physical Performance Battery.Timepoint: 1. Muscle strength will be assessed pre-intervention and post-intervention over six weeks. 2. Muscle Mass will be assessed pre-intervention and post-intervention over six weeks. 3. Physical performance will be assessed pre-intervention and post-intervention over six weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
