A protein intake of 1.5 g/kg bodyweight/day. This will be obtained by consuming protein-rich and protein-enriched foods.

The intervention group will perform resistance training during three non-consecutive days with a minimum of 48 hours between the sessions. Subjects will continue the resistance training after discharge for 2 times a week, also with a minimum of 48 hours between sessions until the study period of 3 months is completed. All sessions will be supervised by physiotherapists.
