Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• Treadmill Test
Measurement of whole-body fitness level. Walking or running on a treadmill and breathing into a machine that measures oxygen level during test. Heart rhythm is continuously monitored during exercise using an electrocardiogram (ECG).
• Strength Test
Measure the strength of leg muscles by kicking against a machine with resistance.
• Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Body composition measurement.

Procedure:
• Muscle Biopsy
Obtain a small piece of muscles from the upper part of the legs
• Fat Biopsy
Fat sample taken from abdomen

Diagnostic Test:
• Resting Energy Expenditure
Measured by indirect calorimetry. Measures how much energy the body uses at rest by placing a special plastic dome over the head while resting quietly for 30 minutes. Measures oxygen breathed in and carbon dioxide breathed out.
• Magnetic resonance imaging
MRI on upper leg to look at fat and muscle

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in muscle protein synthesis	Skeletal muscle protein synthesis will be measured from the rate of incorporation of infused amino acids measured by mass spectrometry.	Baseline, post-exercise approximately 8 hours
Secondary	Change in mRNA expression of exercise responsive genes	Measure messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) expression on exercise responsive genes	Baseline, post-exercise approximately 8 hours
Secondary	Change in expression and activation (phosphorylation) of signaling proteins	Phosphorylation is a common mechanism for the regulation of receptor function	Baseline, post-exercise approximately 8 hours
