Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Body weight. Timepoint: 48 to 72 hours before the first training session and 48 to 72 hours after the last training session. Method of measurement: Participants will be admitted to Kowsar Hospital in Sanandaj, Iran, between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. They will be instructed to refrain from any physical activity for a duration of 24 to 48 hours prior to the pre-test and to undergo an overnight fasting period of at least 12 hours. Their weight will be measured using a digital scale with an accuracy of 0.01 kg, and participants will be requested to void their bladders prior to measurement.;Body mass index. Timepoint: 48 to 72 hours before the first training session and 48 to 72 hours after the last training session. Method of measurement: Participants will be admitted to Kowsar Hospital in Sanandaj, Iran, between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. They will be instructed to refrain from any physical activity for a duration of 24 to 48 hours prior to the pre-test and to undergo an overnight fasting period of at least 12 hours. Height will be measured using a wall-mounted height gauge with an accuracy of 0.01 cm. The measurement conditions will be standardized: subjects will be attired in medical gowns, with bare feet, standing on a completely flat surface. Participants will be instructed to position the backs of their heels, buttocks, and the area between their shoulder blades against the wall while maintaining a forward gaze. Researchers will verify the alignment of these three anatomical points along with the positioning of the head before recording height measurements from the scalp. Body mass index will be calculated using the formula: Body mass index = body weight (kg) / height squared (m²).;Upper body fat mass. Timepoint: 48 to 72 hours before the first training session and 48 to 72 hours after the last training session. Method of measurement: Participants will be admitted to Kowsar Hospital in Sanandaj, Iran, between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. They will be instructed to refrain from any physica
