Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in maximum isometric peak torque	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the abdominal muscles. The measurement will be normalized to the body weight (Nm/kg).
Change in subcutaneous fat	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Subcutaneous fat thickness in the abdominal area measured via ultrasound
Change in sitting postural control	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Sitting on an unstable surface for 30 seconds
