General physical activity

12 weeks of general physical activity - 3 weeks with supervised sessions at the clinic, and 9 weeks of individually adjusted home training. This include circle-training, low-intensity resistance exercises, endurance exercises, ball playing, body awareness, stretching, and relaxation techniques, and similar activities. Neither moderate nor high-intensity resistance exercise is included for participants in this group.Three guided sessions will be offered during the home training period.
