Intervention Name(s)
Multimodal intervention
Intervention Description
Nutritional supplements aimed at optimal energy balance and protein intake (2 cartons of ProSure per day), nutritional advice, home-based self-assisted exercise program and anti-inflammatory treatment (300 mg celecoxib) for 6 weeks. The aerobic exercise program is performed as self-administered daily walking sessions, aiming for a minimum of two sessions 30 minutes on a weekly basis. Other aerobic activities could be used instead of walking. The resistance exercise program should be performed 3 times weekly and lasts about 20 minutes. The program is targeting major muscle groups in the upper body and legs with use of weights. The intensity of the exercise and performance of the exercises are adapted to the individual patient's disease burden and physical performance.
