2.2. Baseline and Postinterventional Testing
Medical history, anthropometric measurements, power performance tests, cycling spiroergometry, blood draws while fasting to gather laboratory data, and data collection during baseline and post-intervention testing after 8 weeks were all part of the data collection process. By applying the height measurement, the scale determined the body mass index (BMI). A simple stadiometer was used to measure height accurately (Seca 222, Seca Co., Birmingham, UK).
