Evaluation of change from baseline isokinetic knee extensor strength to 8 weeks after the initial assessment. Isokinetic knee extensor strength is measured in peak torque (Nm) achieved on an isokinetic dynamometer (BTE Primus, BTE tech, MD, USA) at 60° per second.

Evaluation of change from baseline SPPB score to 8 weeks after the initial assessment. The SPPB is a group of measures that combine the results of the gait speed, timed chair stand and balance tests. For the static standing balance test, participants were asked to stand in side-by-side, semi-tandem and tandem positions, and maintain each position for 10 s. For the gait speed test, participants were asked to walk along a 4-m distance at their normal walking speed. For the repeated chair rise test, participants were asked to fold their arms across their chest and stand up from a sitting position five times consecutively as quickly as possible. Performance scores for each SPPB individual test and a summary score aggregating the individual tests were calculated as per standard SPPB protocol (range 0-12). The scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance).

Evaluation of change from baseline hand grip strength to 8 weeks after the initial assessment. Participants are tested while they were seated, their arms are against their sides, their elbows are flexed 90 degrees. Hand grip strength is measured in kilograms (kg) using a hand-grip dynamometer (Takei 5401, Tokyo, Japan). The maximum value from either hand is used for analysis.
