Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
voluntary quadriceps, hamstring, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius strength (Nm) by using biodex isokinetic machine. This is a composite primary outcome.[before training, post 6 weeks training and post 12 weeks training];Lower leg muscle volume. This outcome was assessed by using measurement tape. The leg was divided into six arbitrary cones. Each cone was measured by using the formula of:<br>Volume cone (L) = 1/12?? x H x (Cupper2 + (Cupper x Clower) + Clower2). Then all cones were summed together for ankle-to-thigh muscle volume.[before, post 6 weeks and post 12 weeks training]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
heart rate by using portable pulse oximetry[before training, post 6 weeks training and post 12 weeks training];Oxygen saturation uptake by using portable SPO2 machine[before training, post 6 weeks training and post 12 weeks training]
