a

Hodges–Lehmann estimate and exact 95% CI associated with the sign test for continuous outcomes or odds ratio and 95% CI from exact conditional logistic regression for dichotomous outcomes. Confidence intervals for individual measures were Bonferroni adjusted within each multi-measure construct.

b

p Values refer to the test of no change in outcomes. The exact sign test was used for continuous outcomes and for dichotomous outcomes, exact conditional logistic regression was used. p Values for individual measures were Bonferroni adjusted within each multi-measure construct. The p value reported for a multi-measure construct is the minimum of the Bonferroni-adjusted p values for its constituent measures.

c

1-RM, 1 repetition maximum weight.

d

Actual minimum of zero replaced by 0.5 so that percentage changes could be calculated.

e

DXA, dual x-ray absorptiometry.

f

Proportion or odds ratio.
