Understanding Exercise and Human Ageing

Physical inactivity has negative effects on all ages and is highly likely to alter the way the body functions as we age. It is also unknown how much physical activity is required to allow us to remain healthy and age optimally.
We plan to do an in-depth analysis of an individuals exercise capacity, strength and power output, nervous system function, muscle characteristics, body composition, physical and cognitive function, and tissue samples of both active cyclists and inactive individuals.
