Healthy Adults 40+ Yrs Old Needed for Research Study
Purpose: We are conducting a study to examine muscle oxygen consumption in response to three stimuli (muscle stimulation, following a rush of blood, and walking) across various ages and how it relates to quality of life.
Inclusion criteria: Healthy, non-smokers, 40 yrs or older with a body mass index (BMI) of < 30kg/m2, and either inactive (<20 min/day of structured physical activity on 2 or fewer days/week) OR recreationally active (moderate intensity aerobic or resistance exercise for > or equal to 80 minutes/week)
Exclusion criteria: Smoker, BMI > 30kg/m2, musculoskeletal injury, cardiovascular disease, use of a walking aid, or metabolic disorder or health condition in which exercise is not recommended.
Requirements: Testing will involve online questionnaires and 1 visit to our lab located in the Institute of Wellbeing at Towson University (~2-2.5 hrs)
Testing will include:
-
- Questionnaires about your health and physical activity
- Blood pressure measures
- A muscle stimulation test
- A blood flow test
- A walking exercise test
