Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Average Peak Torque	Through study completion, an average of 5 months	Average Peak Torque refers to the average highest force output recorded during isometric contractions and represents the maximal strength generated by the muscle group being assessed (e.g., hip or knee flexors and extensors). Unit of Measure: Newton-metre (Nm)
