Summary

This trial will study the effects of varying levels of physical activity on lipid metabolism in older men and women, as well as the effects of exercise training on muscle mass and function in a separate group of older adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for relatively healthy men and women aged between 60-80 years who are interested in participating in an exercise program to combat muscle loss (sarcopenia) and improve heart health. Those considered relatively unhealthy cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study involves two parts: initially, participants will vary their daily physical activity while researchers study changes in fat metabolism. Then, a second group will undergo six months of exercise training aimed at increasing cycling power to see how it affects muscle mass and function.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention is exercise-based, potential side effects may include typical workout-related issues such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury if not performed correctly. However, these risks are generally low.
