Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Muscular strength of the lower extremity measured using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer before the intervention, after a 4-week intervention and after an 8-week intervention	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Dynamic balance measured using the timed up-and-go test before the intervention, after a 4-week intervention and after an 8-week intervention 2. Walking ability measured using the 6-meter walk test before the intervention, after a 4-week intervention and after an 8-week intervention 3. Skeletal muscle mass measured by Inbody 270 before the intervention, after a 4-week intervention and after an 8-week intervention	—
