Brief Summary

Resistance training will be performed for 8 weeks with thrice-weekly sessions on non-consecutive days. The program will consist of seven exercises: triceps press, biceps curl, lat pull-down, calf raise, leg press, leg extension and sit-ups using dumbbells and sandbags. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes and consist of a 5-minute warm-up with stretching followed by a resistance exercise that will be done as a circuit, ending with a 5-minute cooldown. The 1 repetition maximum (1RM) is measured at baseline and following the intervention. Initially, participants will do two circuits using 50% of their 1RM and repeat them 10 times for the first and second weeks, progressing to two circuits, using 60% of their 1RM and repeating 10 times for the third and fourth weeks. In the fifth and sixth weeks, participants will do three circuits using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. In the last two weeks, patients will do three circuits using 70% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. A 90-second rest will be allowed between sets of exercises (Hallsworth et al., 2011).

Resistance exercise PROCEDURE

The program will consist of seven exercises: triceps press, biceps curl, lat pull down, calf raise, leg press, leg extension and sit-ups using dumbbells and sand bags. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes and consist of a 5-minute warm-up with stretching following by resistance exercise that will be done as a cir¬cuit, ending with 5-minute cool down. The 1 repetition maximum (1RM) is measured at baseline and follow¬ing the intervention. Initially, participants will do two circuits using 50% of their 1RM and repeat them 10 times for the first and second weeks, progressing to two circuits, using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times for the third and fourth weeks. In fifth and sixth weeks, participants will do three circuits using 60% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. In the last two weeks, patients will do three circuits using 70% of their 1RM and repeat 10 times. A 90-second rest will be allowed between sets of exercises.
