Trial design

Randomised, open-label, control arm: asked to continue their life as usual with no specific recommendation; football training session group: structured hybrid exercise training ("football fitness concept"), supervised group training 60 min, two sessions per week for 24 weeks; everolimus group: receiving an oral dose of everolimus 5 mg once a week for 24 weeks; everolimus + football training group: combination of the above drug and exercise for 24 weeks. Phase IV trial across 1 site in Denmark.
