Exercise Training
The exercise program will consist of three sessions per week, each lasting 60 minutes. The aerobic exercise will gradually increase the duration throughout the program to 40 minutes and exercise intensity from 30% to 59% of heart rate reserve. The resistance training will include bodyweight functional exercises and resistance exercises using elastic bands. The intensity of resistance exercise will progressively increase according to levels of progressive length and resistance of the elastic bands. The volume of resistance training will start with one set of 8 repetions. It will then gradually increase alongside the program to 2 sets of 12 repetitions. Participants will also be guided to assess their subjective effort using the Borg scale (RPE 12-15).
