Physical Activity
"3 physical activity sessions are planned by week, 2 supervised and 1 non-supervised conducted over 6 months. On the first 2 months, the supervised sessions have 10 minutes of warm-up + 5 minutes active pause (balance, agility and coordinative exercises) + 15 minutes walking + 5 minutes active pause (resistance exercises - 1 series of 12 repetitions~\- 3 callisthenic exercises) + 15 minutes walking + 5 minutes flexibility (1 series of 10 seconds in 3 different postures). The aimed intensity in these first two months is 12/13. Between the 2nd and the 4th months, the duration of the walking period increases, as well as the intensity, RPE 13/14. Between the 4th and the 6th months, again the duration of the walking period increases, as well as the intensity, RPE 14/15. To measure the intensity level of the physical activity, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) ranging from 6 (rest) to 20 (maximum effort) is used."
