About this study

Females aged 20-65 will attend 10 weeks of exercise training consisting of sprint interval training and resistance training for 30 sessions. We will examine changes in body composition, blood panel (fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides), strength (bench press and back squat), aerobic capacity and psychological parameters (hardiness, affect, enjoyment, perception and self-regulation). The effects will be measured acutely after the program and 6-months after the cessation of the program.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • This population consists of: females, aged 25-55, who are: sedentary (not reporting a regular schedule of exercise over the last 3 months), and able to start an exercise program (assessed by the PARQ+)

Exclusion criteria

  • Females who are below age 25 or over age 55, who are currently exercising and have existing conditions that would exclude them from exercise.
