No. | Course description | Time |
1 | Warming up consists of a low intensity (<40% maximal oxygen uptake) or medium intensity (40%–60% maximal oxygen uptake) activity | 10 min |
2 | Stretching consists of whole-body relaxing activity | 10 min |
3 | Main exercise consists of cardiovascular exercise (using an ergometer or treadmill), strength exercise of 60%–80% of the patient's maximum strength (ie, 1 set of 10–15 times of each muscle, set 2–3 times) and flexibility exercise (chest and upper and lower limbs stretching) | 30 min |
4 | Warming down consists of cardiovascular and muscular endurance exercises with low intensity (<40% maximal oxygen uptake) or medium intensity (40%–60% maximal oxygen uptake) | 10 min |
