Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Quality-of-life	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Participant quality of life (focus group questions \& SF-36)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Strength (1RM)	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Participants one-repetition max on leg press
Timed-up-and-go (TUG)	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Standing from a chair, walking to a point 3 metres away, turn, and return to the chair as quick as possible whilst walking.
30-second sit-to-stand (30s-STS)	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Maximal amount of repetitions a participant can stand up from a chair in 30-seconds.
BMI	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Additional measures calculated from participants test results
Balance	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Using the biodex SD to do a 3 x 20s double-foot eyes-open balance test on Level 6.
6-minute Walk Test (6MWT)	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	a "brisk"-paced 6-minute walk test.
Strength-to-mass	The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.	Additional measures calculated from participants test results
