Group Intervention Description Maximal-intent Resistance Training Leg Press Resistance Training Machine The MI group was instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible. Controlled-tempo Resistance Training Leg Press Resistance Training Machine While the CT group followed the metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases.
- 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
