Supervised Training

"Two different classes over alternate weeks twice per week :~1. 60-minute step aerobics class (Given week 1,3,5,7)~2. 60 minutes circuit training class (Given week 2,4,6,8)~Each class will include warm-up and cool-down periods both lasting 10-15 min. The exercise period of 30 minutes the maximum target RPE would be set at 14-16 on a 20-point BORG scale, a level of exercise that feels somewhat hard or hard and coincides with about 86-92% of maximal heart rate, 76-85% of maximal VO 2 and 5-7 metabolic equivalents (METs) ideal for improving the related domains of QoL and Cardiovascular endurance (12). During the first 3 weeks, the participants would exercise at a lower level of RPE (approximately 11-13), to adapt to the training and so that newly recruited participants could also join the group without difficulty."

OTHER
