Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As primary endpoint, the program’s feasibility is assessed. Therefore, training acceptance (questionnaire) and exercise-related adverse events are considered. The questionnaire will be completed after the end of the intervention. In addition, the number of completed training sessions, detailed training setup and reasons for non-participating/ drop out/ training interruption are documented. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| First hints of possible benefits on functional performance of lower extremities, functional mobility, gait performance and physical activity behavior are analyzed. Secondary endpoints ae assessed before and after the intervention: - isometric strength of ankle dorsiflexion and knee extension (dynamometer) - active and passive ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (goinometer) - functional strength of lower extremity (standing long jump) - functional mobility (timed-up-and-go test) - time-walking-tests: [10m-walking test (free and fastest walking pace), 2min-walking test (walking efficiency)] -walk-to-run-transition time (treadmill test) - physical activiy behavior (activity questionnaire) | — |
