Exercise intervention group
"Exercise will consist of two supervised sessions per week. Starting with vital signs monitoring (blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen levels, heart rate).~The aerobic component consists of a 5-minute warm-up, followed by 3 bouts of 4-minute cycling at an intensity of 60-65% HRR, with 2-minute active recovery periods in between and a 5-minute cool down. The goal is to increase up to an intensity of around 80%-85% HRR by weeks 16 to 18. Intensity will be monitored with The Borg Rating Scale of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The resistance component will consist of upper body and lower body exercises (door frame rows, wall push-ups, glute bridges, triceps lifts and squat to calf rise) starting on week one with a set of 12 repetitions of each exercise, with 2-minute recovery in between exercises aiming to increase the number of sets and reducing the number of repetitions."
