Physical characteristics of the participants (number = 35 participants)*.

VariableGroup 1—training + MIPE ( 𝑛 = 1 8 )Group 2—training only ( 𝑛 = 1 7 ) 𝑃 value

Age (years)62.03 ± 11.0159.4 ± 8.51
Height (cm)161.34 ± 6.21158.23 ± 5.82>.05
Body weight (kg)68.32 ± 10.1973.1 ± 9.61
Body mass index (kg/m2)24.25 ± 7.2121.8 ± 4.14

*Values are mean ± standard deviation.
MIPE: monochromatic infrared photo energy.
Independent sample t-test revealed no statistically significant differences between the treatment groups, as would be expected with random allocation of the intervention.
