Resistance exercise
The training schedule for supervised sessions (including community-based and home-based) will last for 60 minutes per session, two sessions per week. From Week 3 and 4, the exercise specialist will deliver supervised home-based training, with one in-person session via home visits and one session to be delivered remotely via an online platform (Zoom). Then the supervision will gradually tail off from Week 5 and onwards, from online supervised sessions, to unsupervised self-practice sessions. An in-person supervised home visit as a booster session will be given at Week 9, the beginning of the habituation phase. Telephone follow-ups will be arranged at Week 10 - 12 by the exercise specialist. All participants in the intervention group will be invited to take part in a qualitative interview to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention.
