Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Lean Body mass

Time Frame: 14 weeks (baseline to 14 week follow-up assessment)

Lean Body Mass as assessed by Dual Energy x-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) was determined twice, at baseline and after 14 weeks of exercise (WB-EMS or HIT)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass(14 weeks (baseline to 14 week follow-up assessment))
