Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in the muscular strength of leg extensors, as measured with isotonic strength.

The score will reflect the strength of the leg extensors. The higher score, reflects greater muscular strength.

Time frame: baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes

Change from baseline in thigh muscle cross-sectional area.

Scores are measured cross-sectional area from ultrasound images. The higher score, reflects greater muscle size of the leg extensors.

Time frame: baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
