2.3.1. Body Mass, Height, Composition, Resting Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
Height was measured using a stadiometer (Leicester portable height measure Tanita HR 001, Tokyo, Japan). Body mass, body fat percentage, body fat mass and fat-free mass were measured using a calibrated digital scale to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg and analyzed via Bioelectrical impedance analysis (Tanita BF-522W, Tokyo, Japan), according to manufacturer instructions (the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) ranged between 0.93 and 0.98). An upper body blood pressure monitor was used to measure blood pressure and heart rate (Omron M2 Basic, Kyoto, Japan; ICC: 0.91–0.95).
