Intensive exercise

Both groups, stretching exercise monitored once per week Intensive exercise group An aerobic and resisted exercise program for a minimum of three times per week for a total of approximately 60 minutes per session for six weeks. Aerobic exercise will be conducted on a treadmill, exercise bike or arm ergometer at an intensity of 80 % of VO2peak during initial assessment. For resistance exercise, the three repetition maximum (3RM) (maximum weight able to be lifted a maximum of 3 times) will be established and then resisted exercise will be commenced at 60% of the 3RM in the first week. Resisted exercise will then be progressed weekly by 5-10% by increasing the number of repetitions or the weights lifted. All resisted exercises will be done using variable resistance machines or free weights.
