Table 1
Description of combined physical exercise regime performed by the TRAINED group.
Aerobics
Exercise frequency: 60 to 70% of the maximal heart rate reserve (MHHR), calculated by the equation () proposed by Tanaka et al. [51]
Exercise type: physical exercises in step platform, jump, coordination, and rhythmic movements (dance sometimes)
Impact: low impact
Monthly cardiac control: Polar, FT1, Finland
Resistance
At least 5 different exercises for different muscle groups (upper and lower limb muscles, abdomen, gluteus, and muscles related to core/postural stabilization, including dorsal and lumbar muscles)
Performed slowly in two series with 10-20 repetitions, between 50 and 60% of 1 RM (repetition maximum)
Different combinations of two muscle groups (described above) performed in four consecutive sessions
