Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
maximal aerobic capacity assessed with breath by breath on- line gas analysis during a graded treadmill exercise test. Participants will perform a graded exercise test. Treadmill speed will be fixed at 5.3 km/hr with the gradient commencing at 0% for the first minute and increased by 1%/min thereafter. The test will terminate when there is 1) a plateau in oxygen consumption; 2) a heart rate within 10 beats / min of age-predicted maximum; and 3) an RER of 1.15.[baseline, 8 weeks, 6 months post-training]
