Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators will carry out three test periods:
* Baseline testing before intervention start
* Post test after 12 weeks of intervention
* Follow-up 12 weeks after post test.
The testing will comprise:
* Physical tests carried out by physiotherapists
* Questionnaires concerning mental health and ADL (activities of daily living)
* Cognition tests
* Cortisol in saliva
