Interventions
Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Exercise
The exercise intervention will consist of moderate-intensity (50-70% age-predicted maximum heart rate) treadmill walking. All exercise sessions will begin with a five-minute warm up of slow walking, 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity walking, and a five-minute cool down of slow walking.
Wait-List Control
Participants randomized into the wait-list control group are asked to maintain their pre-study levels of physical activity and follow the recommendations provided by their physician.
