Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> Measured pre and post (48 weeks) intervention:<br> 1. Body composition, including BF mass (kg), LBM (kg) and BF percentage (%), measured using bioelectrical-impedance (Bodystat 1500, Bodystat, Isle of Man, UK). Guidelines from the National Institute of Health Research Southampton Biomedical Research Centre were followed for body compositions assessment (http://www.uhs.nhs.uk/Media/Southampton-Clinical-Research/Procedures/BRCProcedures/Procedure-for-bioimpedance-with-Bodystat-1500.pdf).<br> 2. Predicted 1RM for chest press, pull down and leg press obtained by gauging the maximal weight that could be lifted successfully for between 5 and 15 repetitions, and inputting these data into the Brzycki equation (i.e. weight/(1.0278-(0.0278 x No. Repetitions)). These results were collapsed into a single strength measure (the mean of the predicted 1RM for each exercise).<br>
