Harjoituskerran kesto: 38 minuuttia
Progressio: Harjoittelun intensiteettiä lisättiin ensimmäisen kahden viikon aikana asteittain siten, että päästiin tavoiteintensiteetille (90–95 % maksimisykkeestä)
Lisäksi yksi 40 minuutin omaehtoinen tasavauhtinen kestävyysharjoitus viikossa (syke 70 % maksimisykkeestä)
Toteutustapa: Fysioterapeutin ohjaama kuntosaliharjoittelu
Toteutustapa: Kahdeksan yksilöllisesti mukautettua ja suuria lihasryhmiä kuormittavaa harjoitetta. Esimerkkejä: jalkaprässi, kyykky, lonkan ojennus, ylätalja, hauiskääntö käsipainoilla, yläsoutu ja selän ojennus
Frekvenssi: 2 krt / vko
Volyymi, intensiteetti ja progressio:
Viikot 1–2: 50–60 % yhden toiston maksimista, 15 toistoa, 1–2 sarjaa
Viikot 3–6: 60–70 % yhden toiston maksimista, 8–10 toistoa, 2–3 sarjaa
