BEHAVIORAL

Moderate intensity exercise training (MOD-INT)

Participants in the MOD-INT group will exercise at the heart rate associated with 45-55% VO2 max. The exercise volume will be 600 MET-minutes per week, which is consistent with current public health guidelines (500-1,000 MET-minutes)

BEHAVIORAL

High Intensity exercise training (HI-INT)

Participants in the HI-INT group will exercise at the heart rate associated with 70-80% VO2 max (heart rate ranges will be updated at mid-intervention CRF assessment). The exercise volume will be 600 MET-minutes per week, which is consistent with current public health guidelines (500-1,000 MET-minutes)3
