Interventions/Control_1

A physical exercise intervention for 8 weeks will be given to the subjects in the exercise group. There are no restrictions on drug or psychotherapy treatments. The physical exercise intervention consists of two supervised sessions per week for eight consecutive weeks. Each session lasts roughly one hour and includes 20 minutes of preparatory exercises (warming-up) such as stretching, 30 minutes of cycling using an ergometer, and 10 minutes of cool-down exercises. The 30 minutes of cycling further include 5 minutes of warm-up cycling and 25 minutes of main episode cycling conducted at an intensity that approaches but never goes higher than subjects' anaerobic metabolic threshold (AT: exercise intensity at which oxygen cannot be supplied to muscles) calculated based on the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). Meanwhile, the intensity of the cycling is further moderated in a way such that subjects' perceived exertion stay no higher than 13 (somewhat hard) as evaluated by the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. Each session is then finalized by a 10-minute cool-down stretching exercise. At the first and fifth weeks, there is a 10-minute exercise instruction session conducted by an occupational therapist.

Interventions/Control_2

Control subjects in the wait-list group will be enrolled in the physical exercise intervention list, which will be administered 8 weeks later. Control subjects will receive regular treatment and are instructed to maintain their lifestyle during these 8 weeks before starting the physical exercise intervention. There are no restrictions on drug or psychotherapy treatments.
