About this trial

This is a longitudinal study to examine the effects of a short-term training program on neurofilamet and GFAP plasma levels. Participants will be divided in two groups: control group (moderate aerobic training) and active group (resistance training). The change in biomarkers will be analyzed pre and post intervention in both groups. Differences between groups will be also evaluated by investigators.
