PROCEDURE

High-Intensity Treadmill Training

Participants will walk on a treadmill at a speed that produces 70-80% of age-adjusted heart rate reserve or a rating of perceived exertion of 17/20. A total of 30, one hour sessions will be conducted. Training will be conducted in 10 minute bouts, with 2-3 minutes rest between bouts.

PROCEDURE

Treadmill Training with Perturbations

Participants will walk on a treadmill and a perturbation of the treadmill will be produced every 20s. Perturbations will randomly occur in the forward, backward, right or left directions, with a perturbation size set to 80% of stability threshold. A total of 30, one hour sessions will be conducted. Training will be conducted in 10 minute bouts with 2-3 minutes rest between bouts.

PROCEDURE

Standard Treadmill Training

Participants will walk on a treadmill at a speed that produces 30-40% of age-adjusted heart rate reserve. A total of 30, one hour sessions will be conducted. Training will be conducted in 10 minute bouts, with 2-3 minutes rest between bouts.
