Anthropometry
BLOOD
Detailed anthropometric measurements were taken pre- and post-intervention for each 2-week study period. Height was measured with a free-standing stadiometer (SECA). Body weight, BMI and body fat percentage were measured on a Tanita scale (Model BC-420MA), and waist circumference was measured using a standardized measuring tape. Blood pressure was measured using a portable cuff (OMRON M6 Comfort, HEM-7000-E). All measurements were taken in triplicate.
