The purpose of this study is to understand how exercise affects the cells and tissues in the body to bring about health benefits. Highly active and sedentary participants will be enrolled. The study will conduct baseline tests of body composition, exercise endurance, and muscle strength. Samples of blood and small pieces of muscle (from the thigh) and fat tissue (from the waist region) will also be obtained to examine the function of different molecules and how they change with exercise. Sedentary participants will then be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: 1) endurance exercise training (treadmill and stationary bike) 2) resistance exercise training (weight lifting), or 3) no exercise training. Participants assigned to endurance or resistance exercise training will undergo supervised exercise sessions 3 times per week for approximately 3 months, after which all baseline assessments will be repeated.
