Minimal-equipment progressive resistance training
The intervention consists of resistance training exercises that target major upper and lower body muscle groups with the use of portable equipment such as resistance bands and wrist/ankle weights. The exercise dosage will be progressively increased across the 16 weeks to achieve training adaptations. The exercise programme will be conducted three times per week, with each session lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
