Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Home-based isometric handgrip training
All participants that will be assigned to home-based isometric handgrip training (HBT) will train three times per week for a total of 12 weeks, will perform a bout of isometric handgrip exercise: four sets of 2-min isometric contractions (using alternate hands) at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction; however, the training will be performed without daily supervision. Therefore, the subjects will receive a logbook to record the exercise sessions. In addition, visits will be scheduled at weeks 1, 3, 6, 9 and 11 to provide feedback to individuals and discuss potential problems in conducting training.
Isometric handgrip training
The two experimental groups (HBT and ST) will receive intervention with isometric handgrip exercise for 12 weeks, and the HBT group without daily supervision.
Supervised isometric handgrip training
All participants that will be assigned to supervised isometric handgrip training (ST) will train three times per week for a total of 12 weeks, will perform a bout of isometric handgrip exercise: four sets of 2-min isometric contractions (using alternate hands) at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction with. The training will be performed with daily supervision.
Isometric handgrip training
The two experimental groups (HBT and ST) will receive intervention with isometric handgrip exercise for 12 weeks, and the HBT group without daily supervision.
Control group
Subjects randomized to the control group (CG) will be encouraged to increase the level of physical activity and make healthy eating, without, however, receive specific recommendations
