Resistance Training Intervention

Participants will perform 10 different resistance exercises consisting of three sets of 8-10 repetitions, at 80% of 1-RM, separated by 60-second rest intervals between sets. This exercise protocol was chosen based on literature that suggests that the protocol and intensity do not enhance mitochondria biogenesis. Also, it was well tolerated by obese and older individuals.
