Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measurement of peak torque and relative strength (peak torque/body weight) of the extensor and flexor muscles of the left and right knee joints using isokinetic equipment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Measurement of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using a modified Balke protocol on a treadmill with an automated respiratory gas analysis system;BDNF was measured using Total BDNF Quantikine ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and spectrophotometry (Thermo Scientific Multiskan Go).; IGF-1 was measured by operating the LIAISON IGF-1 kit (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy) on the Liaison XL analyzer (DiaSorin, Stillwater, MN, USA) using chemiluminescent immunoassay.
