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.
Intervention: Participants will perform an outdoor walking exercise program together with one strength exercise for 12 weeks. The intensity and frequency of the training will progressively increase. Participants are supposed to walk and perform strength training 5-7 days/week.
Methods: Clinical assessments, questionnaires and medical records used for documentation of age, sex, comorbidity, blood pressure, medications and previous education.
Assessment of motor function, cognition, level of physical activity, food intake and perceived stress are performed at screening as baseline measurements. Walking capacity (primary outcome measure), mobility, handgrip strength, body composition and cardiovascular risk markers will be assessed at baseline and after 12 week of training. At one year after training health-related quality of life, another cardiovascular incidence and mortality will be evaluated.
Power analysis is performed. The investigators will analyze the data using an intention-to -treat analysis. Participants should have participated in at least 50% of the training sessions

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention:
Outdoor walking and strength exercise, Three months, daily SMS.
Outdoor walking and strength exercise
Exercise group: Participants are supposed to perform an outdoor walking exercise program and one strength exercise for 12 weeks. The first 2 weeks start with daily walks. The intensity and frequency of walks will progressively increase performed according to the Borg scale: 12-15, ie, moderate to strenuous. Participants will walk 5-7 days/week. Added to this is a strength exercise, i.e. chair-rising which also should be performed daily.
Control group
Usual care; no restriction for exercise, Three months
control group
Control-Group: Treatment as usual for 12 weeks, without restriction of being physically active.
