Resistance training group
Control group
Patients to be randomly assigned to the "resistance training group" will have resistance training with vascular occlusion 2 times per week for a period of 8 weeks on unilateral leg extension machine. During each training, they will performed 3 sets of 15 repetitions at the intensity of 30% 1 RM (repetition maximum). Each training set will separated by a 30 second rest period.
Patients to be randomly assigned to the control group (normal physical activity) will continue with their usual physical activity regime.
