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."
Individually tailored home program
The type of home training would mainly consist of endurance training such as walking, Nordic walking, or aerobic training, but it would also include jumps and leaps like step aerobics to promote bone health. The Participants will be asked to perform these thrice per week.
