Participants will be allocated to exepriemtal group and perform a physical exercise program during 12 weeks and the program is composed by aerobic and anaerobic exercise. They will be evaluated at the beginning, middle and in the end of the program. Researchers will compare the experimental and the control group to see the effects in quality of life and functional status.
