100 patients will be recruited and undergo baseline testing, including examination, immune systems, biochemistry markers, ECG, DXA, metabolic/respiratory function, VO2max, muscular fitness, lipidomic/inflammatory/oxidative markers and psychological outcomes. After baseline testing, participants will be randomly allocated into one group receiving standard of care (control group) or a group performing personalized resistance training intervention two times a week over a period of 6 weeks. The randomization procedure involves a computer-generated block randomization schedule in a ratio of 1:1 stratified by an independent person. Following the 8-week intervention period (with a 1-week washout period), both groups will complete a series of follow-up tests (as baseline testing). A 12-week follow-up experimental day is also planned in order to evaluate physio/psychological changes.
