- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in muscular power of the leg extensors, as measured with isokinetic strength testing. Baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks) The score will reflect the muscular power of the leg extensors. The higher score, reflects greater muscular strength.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in thigh muscle cross-sectional area Baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks) Scores are measured cross-sectional area from ultrasound images. The higher score, reflects greater muscle size of the leg extensors.
