Exercise to Slow Cardiovascular Ageing Progression

Participants from each stratum will be randomized to receive either an exercise program intervention or no exercise. At the start and end of study, participants will undergo cardiovascular imaging and metabolic profiling. Investigators will determine if exercise can reverse high-risk metabolic profiles and improve cardiovascular structure and function. Without clear mechanisms to explain cardiovascular ageing nor interventions known to retard cardiovascular ageing, our approach will provide much needed translational evidence to incorporate targeted interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular disease risk in older populations.
