Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in cardiorespiratory fitness capacity (co-primary)	Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) assessed by a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test.	Baseline, Week 10
Primary	Change in body weight (co-primary)	Bodyweight assessed using a digital scale in a fasting state with an empty bladder, without shoes, and only wearing light clothing.	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in waist Circumference	Measured midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest.	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in fat Mass	Measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in systolic blood pressure	Seating, resting for 5 minutes before the measure is taken	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in diastolic blood pressure	Seating, resting for 5 minutes before the measure is taken	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in medication use	Medications related to cholesterol, diabetes, and blood pressure	Baseline, Week 10
Secondary	Change in physical and mental quality-of-life	Assessed using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)	Baseline, Week 10
