Healthy adults 18 years and older needed for a 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, 18 years 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 (~2.5 hours)

Testing will include:

  • Questionnaires about your health and physical activity
  • Blood pressure measurements
  • A muscle stimulation test
  • A blood flow test
  • A walking exercise test
