Three days (e.g. Monday, Wednesday and Friday) will include repeated bouts of cycling for 4-minutes at \~90% maximal effort followed by 3 minutes of active rest. The other two days (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday) will be treadmill exercise for 45 minutes at 70% of maximal effort.

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance exercise training

Participants will perform 12-weeks of resistance exercise training. Training will be 5-days per week of daily sessions of 60 minutes that include resistance exercise for all major muscle groups.
