Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is the physical fitness, being assessed at the beginning and end (after three month) of the study, by using an incremental bicycle test and lactate measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondaray endpoints are i) body composition, ii) blood lipids, iii) HbA1c-value, iv) psychometric evaluation, v) physical activity and vi) nutrition. All these parameters will be assessed at the beginning and end (after three month) of the study, by i) air displacement plethysomgraphy, ii-iii) blood laboratory tests, iv-vi) questionnaires and standardized interviews.
