Treadmill Walking

A treadmill will be used for participant to walk on. The frequency of exercise will be 5 times per week until they report symptom-free. The intensity will be determined via random group allocation (RPE of 13 or 9). The type of exercise is treadmill walking. The time of the intervention will depend on the the time it takes an individual to reach a specific caloric expenditure as a function of their weight and treadmill incline. This is based on the most recent American Congress of Sports Medicine's guidelines for estimating gross energy expenditure during common physical activities.
