This study is a randomised clinical trial with cross-over design. Participants will be randomised in an intervention and a control group. At baseline, questionnaires and exercise tests will be perfomed in all patients. The intervention group will first receive BPA-treatment. After 6 months, all patients will fill in the questionaires and undergo the exercise tests. At this point the control group will also receive BPA-treatment. After 12 months the study outcomes will be measured in all participants with the same questionnaires and exercise tests. The total follow-up is 24 months.
