Interventions

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Exercise group: moderate intensity exercise combining aerobic and resistance exercise 1.1 Pre-intervention (baseline) assessment 1.2. 12 wee
patients will be offered an optional exercise programme of their choice (e.g., home based, walking outside, gym or swimming)
and they will be given a diet information sheet 1.6. 6 month follow-up assessment 2. Control group 2.1. Pre-intervention (baseline) assessment 2.2. 12 weeks of no structured exercise 2.3. Post-interv
patients will be offered an exercise programme of their choice (e.g., home based, gym or swimming)
and they will be given a diet information sheet 2.5. 6 month follow-up assessment

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incremental shuttle walk test (metres): will be measured at baseline, 3 months and 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Grip strength (kg), measured with a analogue hand grip dynamometer 2. Seat to stand test (seconds), using a 5 x seat to stand protocol 3. Body composition: measured using Tanita bioelectrical impedance scales (BC-418-MA) 4. Height (cm), measured by a SECA stadiometer 5. Weight (kg), measured by Tanita bioelectrical impedance scales (BC-418-MA) 6. Waist and hip circumference (cm), measured with a SECA tape measure 7. Physical activity, measured by Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer 8. Self-reported physical activity, measured with the Short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) 9. Blood pressure (mmHg), measured with an automated Intelle sense blood pressure machine (arm cuff) 10. Resting heart rate (beats per minute), measured with a finger pulse oximeter 11. Oxygen saturation (%), measured with a finger pulse oximeter 12. Dietary intake, measured with a 24-hour food recall 13. Self-efficacy, measured using the self-efficacy to regulate physical activity (SERPA) questionnaire 14. Anxiety and depression measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) 15. Medications and doses: obtained from medical notes 18. Cholesterol, measured with venous blood specimens 19. High-density lipoprotein, measured with venous blood specimens 20.
