Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints of this study will be the difference in blood levels of serum Irisin, and serum 25(OH)D levels at 1) pre-exercise intervention, 2) post-short-term exercise intervention, and 3) post-long-term exercise intervention. Serum Irisin and serum 25(OH)D from the three time periods will be analyzed by two-way ANOVA to confirm the interaction and perform the corresponding multiple comparison tests. A two-sided p-value of 0.05 or less is considered statistically significant in the statistical test. | — |
