Exercise program
A supervised training plan will be carried out for 12 weeks with a frequency of 3 sessions per week with a duration of 60 minutes, an ideal estimate according to the meta-analysis of Montaño-Rojas et al. The first two weeks the group exercises will be performed to familiarize the participants with the exercises and then each participant will perform them at home with a review every two weeks to assess the increase of the load. The exercises and loads included in this treatment plan have been designed and modified based on previous clinical trials. The training plan will work upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. All sessions begin with a general warm-up, which will be previously instructed to the participants, in which the heart rate will be increased (see Multimedia Appendix 1). After a two-minute break, the specific block of each session will begin (see Table 1 and Multimedia Appendix 1). All exercises will be performed with dumbbells, elastic bands and a ball.
