Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	HCP-Guided Exercise Training Program	Individually tailored exercise program consisting of aerobic training (5 days per week for a minimum of 30 minutes at moderate intensity) and strength training (2 days per week at moderate intensity). Two days per week the participant will receive their exercise program at NYU Langone Health. When at NYU, the training will be supervised by a physical therapist and will consist of the following: warm-up of 5 minutes, 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on either a stationary bike or treadmill at 60-70% of maximum heart rate. Following aerobic training, strength training will be carried out. Strength training will consist of 1 exercise per major muscle group, 8-12 reps, 1-3 sets at moderate intensity. The remaining three days a week the participant will perform aerobic training at home by exercising on a bicycle or by walking fast for a minimum of 30 mins at moderate intensity (60-70% of max HR).
