Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This will be a cross-sectional study. All participants will be asked to attend a testing session, where their anthropometric indices, body composition, bone health (optional), energy expenditure and blood profile (optional) will be collected at a single time point. The testing session will last a maximum of 2 hours and 20 minutes.
