Aerobic Exercise
Subjects will exercise on a treadmill for 45 minutes twice during the intervention week. Subjects will exercise at a fixed intensity level to a target heart rate (±10%) based on the heart rate achieved at 60% of their VO2max determined at screening. The speed and grade of the treadmill will be adjusted by trained research personnel with a goal of keeping participants within their target heart rate range for the entire 45 minutes.
Resistance Exercise
Subjects will participate in resistance exercises for 45 minutes twice during the intervention week. Subjects will perform multiple-joint exercises with slow to moderate lifting velocity, for 1-3 sets per exercise at a weight that can be lifted for 8-12 repetitions (\~60-80% of 1-repetition max). The exercises may include leg press, bench press, leg extension, leg flexion and seated row. Subjects will perform the exercises through the full range of motion. Between each set of repetitions, there would be a 2 minute rest period. The duration of the exercise testing would be approximately 45 minutes.
