Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Endurance exercise

Participants will perform 8-weeks of endurance exercise training. Participants will train 5 days per week for 60 min at 65% of VO2 peak.

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance exercise

Participants will perform 8-weeks of resistance exercise training. Participants will train 4 days per week for \~60 min. Two days will focus on lower body resistance training and two days will focus on upper body.

BEHAVIORAL

Control/Combined training

Participants will perform 8-weeks of no exercise (control), followed by 8-weeks of combined endurance and resistance training. Participants will endurance train 5 days per week for 30 min at 65% of VO2 peak and resistance train 4 days per week for 30 min.
