2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm B (aerobic, strength exercise, nutritional recommendation)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients complete at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise (such as brisk walking or stationary bike cycling) at least 3 times per week. Patients also complete strength exercises with resistance tubes/bands at least 2 times per week, with at least 2 sets of 8-15 repetitions of the exercises taught. Patients receive nutrition consultation with a registered dietitian and monitor dietary intake. Patients also consume a high protein snack/meal/shake (15-25 grams) within 1 hour after any strengthening exercises. Exercise activities and nutrition are tracked in the Pt Pal app.
Group II: Arm A (aerobic exercise, nutritional recommendation)Active Control4 Interventions
Patients are encouraged to complete at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise, at least 3 times per week. Patients receive nutrition consultation with a registered dietitian and monitor dietary intake. Aerobic exercises and nutrition are tracked in the Pt Pal app
