Summary

It is established that resistance training improves metabolic health; however, the mechanisms of this process are not fully understood. A biologically active substance, irisin, has recently received interest in the scientific community with respect to its effects on energy expenditure and weight loss. The purpose of this study is to compare the different irisin release response during a resistance exercise training session. The study will compare individuals two different age groups (young adults: age 18-30; older adults: age 65-75) living with obesity.

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance Training Intervention

Participants will perform 10 different resistance exercises consisting of three sets of 8-10 repetitions, at 80% of 1-RM, separated by 60-second rest intervals between sets. This exercise protocol was chosen based on literature that suggests that the protocol and intensity do not enhance mitochondria biogenesis. Also, it was well tolerated by obese and older individuals.
