At each visit, resting heart rate and blood pressure were measured after 10 min of quiet rest in a supine position. Blood pressure was determined by taking duplicate successive measurements using an automated monitor (OMRON Healthcare, Hoofddorp, The Netherlands) with a properly sized arm cuff on the left arm. The average of the two measurements was then recorded. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (m), while body surface area (BSA) was calculated using the Mosteller formula [19 (link)]. To measure body fat percentage, a tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed using the Tanita Body Composition Analyzer BF-350 (Tanita Corporation, USA).

All participants were asked to remove footwear and heavy or layered clothing to obtain height (free-standing stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm; Seca, Birmingham, UK), body weight, and bioelectrical impedance (Tanita Body Fat Analyzer; Tanita Corporation of America Inc., Arlington Heights, IL, USA, model TBF 300). Participants were asked to collect clothing above the waist to measure waist circumference over skin using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) protocol in a private screening area [32 ]. BMI z-scores were calculated using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age- and sex-specific values [33 ]. Blood pressure was measured with an automated monitor (Omron, Schaumberg, IL, USA). In some cases, an adult cuff was used in place of a child cuff for proper fit to provide an accurate reading. All anthropometric and physiological parameters measures were taken once by trained staff.

Blood pressure and the pulse rate are measured using automated monitor (OMRON-India). Ultrasonography of abdomen is done using Philips HD 11 ultrasound scanner. Dental, gynaecological and ophthalmic examinations are also performed on the study subjects.

Height was measured using a free-standing stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm (Seca, Birmingham, UK). In a private screening area, participants were asked to gather clothing above the waist so that waist circumference could be measured over skin using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) protocol [35 ]. Participants were asked to remove all footwear and heavy and/or layered clothing to obtain weight and bioelectrical impedance, which were assessed with a Tanita Body Fat Analyzer (Tanita Corporation of America Inc., IL, USA, model TBF 300) that was calibrated to −0.2 kg to account for clothing remaining. BMI z-scores were determined using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) age- and gender-specific values [36 ]. Blood pressure was measured via an automated monitor (Omron, Schaumberg, IL, USA) with a child cuff or, in some cases, an adult cuff, which was used when the child cuff did not properly fit to provide an accurate reading.

Arterial blood pressure was measured in the sitting position using an automated monitor (Omron Healthcare, Henfield, UK); three measurements were obtained, and the average of the last two measurements was used. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HbA1c were measured in all three studies, whereas in Project STAND and Walking Away fasting and 2-h challenge, glucose were also measured using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). For Project STAND and Walking Away, participants were asked to fast overnight and avoid MVPA for 48 h prior. All biomarkers analyses were conducted in quality controlled clinical laboratories within the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and Cambridge University Hospitals standardized to external quality assurance reference values. Analysis was conducted by individuals blinded to the patients' identity.

Overweight (BMI > 25 kg.m -2 ) men and women aged 18-65 years, who were non-smokers and not achieving current physical activity guidelines were recruited. Women were only included if they were postmenopausal, as postprandial metabolic responses vary over the course of the menstrual cycle, which could confound outcome measures (Gill, Malkova, & Hardman, 2005) ). Other exclusion criteria included: frank diabetes (physician diagnosed or fasting glucose (>7mmol.l -1 on screening); uncontrolled hypertension (>160/90 mmHg on anti-hypertensive medication); previous history of established CHD; or current medications known to affect lipid or glucose metabolism. Participants were recruited to the study by local advertising and personal contacts. They were invited for screening where they attended the laboratory in the fasted state and completed a health history questionnaire; had a blood sample taken to determine fasting glucose concentration; had blood pressure measured using an automated monitor (Omron Healthcare, Inc., Illinois, USA); had height, body mass and waist circumference measured using standard International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry protocols (Marfell-Jones, Olds, Stewart, & Carter, 2006) ; and completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to assess habitual physical activity levels.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
