Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Resistance combined with cardiovascular training group

Participants in this group will receive the resistance combined with cardiovascular training intervention for up to 6 weeks

Interventions

Resistance combined with cardiovascular training

Participants will undergo a 6-week exercise program designed under the supervision of a board certified sports medicine physician. The exercise program will consist of a 3 day per week schedule: Monday will be lower body resistance training, Wednesday will be aerobic exercise, and Friday will be upper body resistance training. Each session will be approximately up to 1 hour.

Primary outcome measure

  • Change in participants' physical reaction time [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program ]
  • Change in percentage of participants' mouse click accuracy [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program ]
