Interval training group
Continuous training group
Patients to be randomized to the 'interval training group' will have exercise training sessions 3 times per week for a period of 12 weeks. During training, they will undergo interval exercise series composed of high-intensity intervals (80-90% of peak exercise performance) and low-intensity intervals (60-70% of peak exercise performance).
Patients to be randomized to the 'continuous training group' will have exercise training sessions 3 times per week for a period of 12 weeks. During training, they will undergo moderate continuous exercise training at 75% of peak exercise performance.
