Home-based physical activity programme
iLiFE is a 12-week individualised programme, adapted to the participants' needs and preferences. This programme will be conducted in participants' home and include everyday tasks to train endurance, balance, flexibility and strength. The intervention incudes face-to-face sessions and phone calls. Face-to-face sessions aim to adapt activities to everyday tasks, increase frequency and/or intensity, monitor progress, clarify doubts, motivate higher daily energy expenditure and manage expectations. Phone-calls aim to clarify doubts and to monitor patients' motivation/evolution, following a motivational interview. At the start of the program, the physiotherapist will be present at all sessions, but these face-to-face visits will decrease over time. Patients will also receive a personalised manual (iLiFE manual) with activities to do in their everyday tasks.
Usual care
Participants will receive a leaflet with exercises and PA recommendations.
