Summary

As the primary objective, this study will evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of changes in physical strength, of a resistance training (RT) program consisting of brief bodyweight exercises (\<5 min/day) performed unsupervised every weekday for 12 weeks. Blood pressure, lipid profile, hemoglobin A1ca, habit strength and satisfaction with the program will also be assessed. Office workers and osteopathic medical students will serve as participants.They will be randomized (1:1) to the intervention group or to a waitlist control group that will refrain from RT for the initial 12 weeks. After the 12-week follow-up assessment, the intervention group will continue the program and the waitlist control group will start the program for 12 weeks, followed by a 24-week follow-up assessment.
