Brief summary

We are looking at the effects of exercise compared to no exercise on the cardiovascular function in the peripheral (arm) and cerebral (head) arteries. We expect to see a change in the peripheral and cerebral arteries from exercise.

Interventions

8 week exercise program of 3 times a week, 30 mins per session at a moderate intensity (RPE 13). The participant will be walking/jogging on a treadmill at a maximum of "somewhat hard". They will be supervised by gym staff who are either qualified exercise physiologists or Human Movement students/graduates.
