General design of the study, schedule of enrollment, intervention and assessment*. a After signing the informed consent, the patients will undergo medical and biochemical evaluation. Once inclusion/exclusion criteria are verified, recruited patients will be evaluated for muscle mass, fiber type composition of the vastus lateralis muscle (VLM), and cardio-respiratory physical capacity. Then, patients will be assigned to a high-intensity/low-volume interval training (HIIT-low volume) or continuous aerobic exercise training (CAE) intervention. A final reevaluation will be performed. b Evaluations during both enrollment and close out periods are expected to last 2 weeks. The intervention will last 12 weeks.
