Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Change from baseline in intramyocellular lipids of the vastus lateralis, as measure with magnetic resonance spectroscopy	The score will reflect a concentration. The higher score, reflects more fat in the fibers.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
Other	Change from baseline in extramyocellular lipids of the vastus lateralis, as measure with magnetic resonance spectroscopy	The score will reflect a concentration. The higher score, reflects more fat in the fibers.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
Other	Change from baseline in the fatty acid saturation levels of the extramyocellular lipids of the vastus lateralis, as measure with magnetic resonance spectroscopy	The score will reflect a saturation level of fatty acids in the extramyocellular lipid. The higher score, reflects greater fatty acid saturation.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
Other	Change from baseline in the fatty acid saturation levels of the intramyocellular lipids of the vastus lateralis, as measure with magnetic resonance spectroscopy	The score will reflect a saturation level of fatty acids in the intramyocellular lipid. The higher score, reflects greater fatty acid saturation.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
Primary	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.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
Secondary	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.	baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
