Background: The Department of Kinesiology & Health is looking to recruit people for a National Institutes of Health study to understand the role of blood measured extracellular vesicles as new biomarkers for cardiovascular health. We are looking to recruit: 1) people with lean body weight; 2) people with obesity; 3) people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
People should be between the ages of 40-70 years old, and who are non-smoking and not currently exercising on a routine basis. People will receive at no cost measures of aerobic fitness, body composition, metabolism, cognition and vascular health. People with obesity will undergo in-person exercise training for 16 weeks at Rutgers, with tests performed again after training.
Compensation is up to $500.
