Exercise Programs Resistance Training: The protocol for the RT program will be progressive and high-intensity with the aim of increasing muscle strength in the extremities and the trunk. Both a Keiser® Pressurized Air system (Keiser Corp.CA, US) and free weights will be used to provide the training stimulus. Participants will undergo a two-week familiarisation period with the equipment and the exercises. The exercises will consist of biceps curls, triceps extension, seated row, latissimus dorsi pull downs, mini-squats, mini-lunges, hamstring curls, and calf raises. The intensity of the training stimulus will initially be at 50% to 60% of 1 repetition maximum (RM) as determined at week two, with a work range of two sets of 10-15 repetitions and progress to 75% to 85% of 1RM at a work range of six to eight repetitions (two sets) by week four. The training stimulus will be increased using the 7RM method, when two sets of 6-8 repetitions are completed with proper form and without discomfort. Squats and lunges will be performed initially with body weight; loading will be increased only when proper form is maintained for two sets of 10 repetitions. The number of sets completed and the load lifted for each exercise will be recorded for each participant at every class.
