Imaging Biomarkers of the Effects of a Mixed Exercise Program

"A progressive program of high intensity strength and myofascial conditioning will be carried out in 2 non-consecutive weekly sessions (24 weeks). Each session will include:~A) Warm up on a cycle ergometer~B) Strength circuit: 6 exercises will be included to strengthen different muscle groups (2 in the upper extremities, 2 in the trunk and 2 in the lower extremities). 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions until the failure. The load will be set to 70% of 1 maximal resistance.~C) Self-myofascial conditioning: 10 repetitions, in the direction of the fibres of each muscle group, with different materials. 7 muscle groups will be worked (quadriceps, hamstrings, abductors, gluteus, pectoralis, full back and trapezius).~D) At the end, static stretches will be performed"
