Exercise Intervention

The intervention will consist of 3 weeks of whole body circuit training (resistance training) where participants in the intervention group will perform 7 different exercises. The circuit will consist of 10 repetitions per exercise of 7 exercises: leg press, bent-over row, bench press, squats, dumbbell jump squats with raises, dead-lifts and weighted abdominal crunches, with approximately 30 sec of rest in between each exercise (based on the estimated time needed to move from one position to the next). Each participant will move through the circuit 3 times, with 2 to 3 minutes of rest between each round. Intensity will be 6-7 of RPE at the first set, and 9-10 at the third set.
