Title Change From Baseline in Peak Jump Power Standard Deviation Score (PJP-SDS; Two-leg-jump) in Per Protocol (PP) Population at Month 6
Description PJP was defined as the peak of the calculated power (force multiplied by velocity). It was measured by Leonardo Jumping Platform during two-leg jump. The participant performs 3 jumps and the highest peak (PJP) of the 3 recordings was selected for further calculations. The SDS indicates how similar the participant was to the reference population.

Title Change From Baseline in Five-chair Rising Test-Peak Jump Force (PJF) at Month 6
Description The Chair rising test is a performance test (total power output) to measure neuromuscular function of complex movement in standing up. Test allows diagnostics of movement deficits using Leonardo jump plate. Five stand up test: five repetitions of rising from a chair on jump plate as quickly as possible with arms crossed over the chest (time to perform the tasks, maximal PJP, maximal velocity and maximal PJF). PJF is the maximum force of the ascending part of the jump which the participant performed as a counter-movement jump with freely moving arms as high as possible with the head and chest.

Title Change From Baseline in Skinfold Thickness-Standard Deviation Score (SDS) at Month 6
Description Triceps, supra-iliac and subscapular skinfolds were measured on the right side of the body to the nearest 0.1 mm with a Holtain skinfold caliper. The measurement was performed at the left side of the participant. Triceps skinfold thickness was measured halfway down the left upper arm, while the arm was hanging relaxed at the participant's side. Suprascapular skinfold was measured laterally just below the angle of the left scapula. Suprailiac skinfold was measured just above the iliac crest in the middle-axillary line. SDS indicates how similar the participant was to the reference population.
