Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Competency-based physical training (CbM)

The intervention to be added to online social work treatment as usual (OSW) is a well-designed, one-on-one structural physical workout module which will be offered by a licensed senior physical trainer in public sports ground or gymnasium. The aim is to strengthen participants' sense of competence, improve their physical fitness, self-confidence and self-image through an outcome-driven Circuit training. One of the chief advantages of Circuit training is its adaptability. Circuit training can be performed with gym equipment and/or bodyweight exercises which is deemed to be suitable for beginner and easy to practice at home on oneself. Participants can continue to replicate the exercise with or without any equipment. The program will be delivered in six one-hour sessions, including face-to-face and online mode, over one month.
