Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Quality-of-life	Participant quality of life (focus group questions & SF-36)	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.
Secondary	Balance	Using the biodex SD to do a 3 x 20s double-foot eyes-open balance test on Level 6.	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.
Secondary	6-minute Walk Test (6MWT)	a "brisk"-paced 6-minute walk test.	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.
Secondary	Timed-up-and-go (TUG)	Standing from a chair, walking to a point 3 metres away, turn, and return to the chair as quick as possible whilst walking.	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.
Secondary	30-second sit-to-stand (30s-STS)	Maximal amount of repetitions a participant can stand up from a chair in 30-seconds.	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.
Secondary	Strength (1RM)	Participants one-repetition max on leg press	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.
Secondary	BMI	Additional measures calculated from participants test results	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.
Secondary	Strength-to-mass	Additional measures calculated from participants test results	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.
