Free-living measurements
BLOOD
Assessments of free-living physical activity and blood pressure were recorded by the participants between the 2 study days. Physical activity was also assessed with physical activity monitors (AX3, Axivity) for 7 consecutive days. Blood pressure was assessed with home-based resting measurements across 3 days, including three measurements morning and evening. Furthermore, a 3-day record of total dietary intake was completed at baseline, during the intervention period (at weeks 4 and 12), and during the 3 days leading up to follow-up testing.
