Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • 1 Repetition Maximum

    A 1 Repetition Maximum (1 RM) test is a commonly used method in the fitness and strength training realm to assess an individual's maximum strength for a specific exercise. (18) The test involves determining the maximum amount of weight a person can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise.

    8 weeks

  • Yo-Yo test

    The 20-meter multistage shuttle test, also known as the "Beep Test" or "Yo-Yo Test," is a commonly used aerobic fitness test. (20)The test involves continuous running between two lines 20 meters apart in response to audio signals. . If a participant fails to reach the line before the beep, they are given a warning. After a second warning, the test is concluded, and the level reached is recorded.

    8 weeks

  • Muscle Mass

    Measuring muscle size using an inches tape, also known as a tailor's tape or a body tape measure, is a simple and effective way to track changes in muscle size and monitor your fitness progress
