Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Glucose tolerance.Baseline and after 12th weeks of intervention.Change in glucose tolerance assessed using 2\_hours oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), expressed as glucose plasma area under curve (AUC), following a75 g oral glucose load.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Insulin resistance.Baseline and after 12th weeks of intervention.Change in insulin resistance assessed using homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), calculated from fasting plasma glucose tolerance test and fasting insulin levels.
Insulin sensitvity.Baseline and after 12th weeks of intervention.Change in insulin sensitvity assessed using the Matsuda and Defronzo insulin sensitvity index (ISI), derived from oral glucose tolerance values.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stress hormones ( serum cortisol levels ).Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.Change in serum cortisol level measured by chemiluminesence immunoassey
Body mass indexBaseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.Change in body mass index calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meter square (kg/m2).
Mood states.Baseline and after 12th weeks of interventionChange in mood states assessed using by the profile of mood states \_short form (POMS-SF) , using the total mood disturbance score and subscale scores .
Stress hormones ( ACTH ).Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.Change in serum ACTH level measured by chemiluminesence immunoassey
Waist circumference.Baseline and 12 weeks after the intervention.Change in waist circumference measured in centimeters at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the ilkac crest
Body fat percentage.Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.Change in fat percentage assessed using the sum of four skin fold thickness measurements (tricepes, suprailiac, abdominal ,and thigh) and calculated using sex specific equations.
