Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The present study design includes three arms (two intervention arms): Physical Exercise (Group A), Counseling/Support Group (Group B), and No Intervention (Control, Group C). Random allocation to each group was done in a 1:1:1 ratio at the end of an initial telephone interview by one of the authors. A permutated block design with a block size of three was used. For each participant in Groups A and B, the assigned intervention was started the week following the initial interview, and lasted 6 weeks.
