Participants gave informed consent prior to participation in the study. Each participant was familiarized with the study procedures and informed of the purpose of the study. During the testing period, participants were asked to go about their normal daily activities while avoiding strenuous activity, including cardiovascular or strength training, hiking, yard work, or other forms of vigorous exercise or activity. Participants were also asked to maintain their regular sleeping patterns during the testing period. Dietary and sleep adherence were verified using an activity and sleep log and were also verbally verified at each visit.
