Treatment and study plan

Leg Press Resistance Training Machine

Other

Participants used said unilateral leg press at 60% one-repetition max for either 3 sets x 5 reps, or 5 sets x 5 reps, at either maximal- or controlled-tempo-intent.

Primary outcomes

  1. Quality-of-life

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Participant quality of life (focus group questions & SF-36)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Balance

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Using the biodex SD to do a 3 x 20s double-foot eyes-open balance test on Level 6.

  2. 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    a "brisk"-paced 6-minute walk test.

  3. Timed-up-and-go (TUG)

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Standing from a chair, walking to a point 3 metres away, turn, and return to the chair as quick as possible whilst walking.

  4. 30-second sit-to-stand (30s-STS)

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Maximal amount of repetitions a participant can stand up from a chair in 30-seconds.

  5. Strength (1RM)

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Participants one-repetition max on leg press

  6. BMI

    Time frame: The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

    Additional measures calculated from participants test results
