Physical Activity Condition
Subjects will attend virtual group exercise sessions 3x/week for 1 year. Each subject will be encouraged to walk at a moderate intensity (target heart rate (HR)= 40-59% HR reserve) dependent on resting HR and age. Subjects will perform aerobic exercise on their own and resistance exercises will be completed in virtual exercise sessions with an instructor 1 hour/day for 3 days/week for 1 year. At the exercise sessions, these participants will be asked to record measures of the exercises completed and may be asked to provide measures of heart rate (assessed by palpation for 20-seconds) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE). They will be asked to submit exercise logs providing this information. Data from exercise logs and exercise specialist records will be reviewed for evidence of progression, consistent attainment of moderate intensity, and with respect to the prescribed duration of the aerobic and strength training components.
