Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Waist measurement - Antropometric Measurements

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Waist measurement is measured from the narrowest area between the subcostal region and the iliac crest.

  2. Abdomen measurement - Antropometric Measurements

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Abdomen measurement is measured at the level of the umbilicus without compression of the tissues.

  3. The hip measurement - Antropometric Measurements

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The hip measurement is measured from the thickest part of the hip area.

  4. Eurofit Test Battery

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    A test-retest design was applied to test the reproducibility of several Eurofit test battery items. Supervision and measurement of the Eurofit test battery was performed by one trained mental health physical therapist following a standardized procedure. The Eurofit test battery included seven items and involved the assessment of the following measures: whole body balance, speed of limb movement, flexibility, explosive strength, static strength, abdominal muscular endurance and running speed.

  5. Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) scale

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    QIDS-SR consists of 16 items each ranging from 0 to 3. It is scored by summing the highest response in each of a set of questions relating to sleep, weight and psychomotor symptoms and then adding the remaining items

  6. International Physical Activity Questionnaire

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The IPAQ questionnaires list activities and request estimates of durations and frequencies for each activity engaged in over the past week. Durations are multiplied by known METs per activity and the results for all items are summed for the overall physical activity score. Scores for walking and for moderate and vigorous activities are sums of corresponding item scores. A sitting question is not included in physical activity score.
