Interventions
supervised infrared exercise group
Participants of the intervention group will be asked to perform 1-3 exercise sessions per week at the Infraligne center of Genk, Hasselt or Maasmechelen for a total duration of 12 weeks. During the exercise session, the participant is assigned to an individual 'sport cabin' in which they are standardly exposed to infrared light.
supervised non-infrared exercise group
Participants of the intervention group will be asked to perform 1-3 exercise sessions per week at the Infraligne center of Genk, Hasselt or Maasmechelen for a total duration of 12 weeks. Participants assigned to the supervised non-infrared exercise group will exercise in the sport-cabin with the infrared light turned off.
