Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Testosterone: It means its serum concentration which is measured by ELISA method using a special kit. Timepoint: Testosterone measurement before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: A special kit for measuring the amount of testosterone and the necessary blood collection equipment.;Peak oxygen consumption: In this research, peak oxygen consumption is the maximum aerobic power, which is measured by the modified Bruce test and the respiratory gas analysis device. Timepoint: Measuring peak oxygen consumption before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Treadmill and respiratory gas analysis device.;6-minute walking distance: In this research, 6-minute walking distance means the distance traveled in 6 minutes, which is evaluated by the 6-minute walking test. Timepoint: Measuring the distance of 6 minutes of walking before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Stopwatch.;Appendicular skeletal muscle index: In this research, appendicular skeletal muscle index refers to the mass of upper and lower body skeletal muscles in terms of height, which is measured by DEXA. Timepoint: Measuring the appendicular skeletal muscle index before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: DEXA device.;Hand grip strength: It means the maximum hand grip strength, which is measured with a hand grip dynamometer. Timepoint: Measuring the hand grip strength before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Handgrip device.;Gait speed: It means the most comfortable walking speed on the 8-meter path, which is measured by recording the time. Timepoint: Measuring the gait speed before the intervention and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Stopwatch.;Static balance: means the ability or lack of ability to perform the static balanc | — |
