The kinesiology department is seeking participants for a research study. The study requires one (or two) visits to the laboratory that lasts approximately two hours and participants will receive a health assessment, exercise test and a body composition scan.

Participants must be 60-years-old or older who are either active or not currently active. Active participants are defined as individual participating physical activity each week — 150 minutes per week. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether remaining active throughout aging is protective against oxidative stress — chemical entities that cause deleterious health effects — in the airways and systemically. Oxidative stress is associated with most pathologies, and activity level throughout aging may reduce this stress. 

This protocol lasts approximately two hours and the research team will work around your schedule if you wish to participate.
