Physical activity, dietary intake, and anthropometric assessments
Physical activity level (PAL) and dietary intake were evaluated at three time points: weeks 1 (baseline), 4, and 8. Anthropometric measurements, including height, BMI, body weight, and neck, waist, and hip circumferences (NC, WC, HC), were performed pre- and post-intervention. Height and weight were measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg in light clothing without shoes by a calibrated stadiometer and scale (Seca, Hamburg, Germany). BMI was calculated as weight/height
