Comparative Analysis of Biomarkers in Response to Acute Moderate-Intensity Activity

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Acute Exercise, Aerobic Exercise, Biomarkers

In brief

The purpose of this study is to understand how college students' biomarkers change with a relatively short bout of moderate-intensity physical activity. The investigators are comparing biomarkers in between self-reported physically active and sedentary students in terms of their percent difference and change. The investigators are also studying physically active versus sedentary college students' mental health. This is a mentored student research project in the investigator's lab (not part of a thesis, dissertation, or other coursework requirements), where multiple students have developed research questions using the same study design.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 34. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• This study will enroll full-time students at the investigator's university who are aged 18-34 years.
• Participants will be generally healthy participants, assessed using the 2020 Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (first 7 questions) as a screening tool. Individuals who answer "no" to all of the 7 questions will be deemed healthy enough to take part.
• Two balanced groups will be created based on self-reported current activity level, either sedentary (<30min/week of exercise) or meeting exercise guidelines (>=150min/week of exercise).
• Potential participants should be willing to complete the blood draws and the 12 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on an elliptical machine.
• Potential participants should be able to speak and read the English language. This is so they will be able to understand the study protocols clearly.

You may not qualify if…

• Are allergic to nuts because the snacks provided following the blood draw may contain nut products.
• Do not have transportation and parking (if needed) to lab.
