Gene - Exercise Research Study

Impact of Common Genetic Polymorphisms on CV Disease Risk Factor Changes With Endurance Exercise Training

The investigators hypothesize that the degree to which older generally healthy but sedentary men and women improve a number of cardiovascular (CV) disease risk factors with 6 months of highly-standardized endurance exercise training will be a function of common genetic variations in candidate genes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• generally healthy
• free from CV disease
• ability to undergo exercise training

Exclusion Criteria:

• previous history of CV disease
