Eligible volunteers must be apparently healthy with no history of cardiac or metabolic disease, weigh over 110 pounds, and not smoke or consume beta-blockers.<\/p>\n<p>The study involves one visit lasting approximately 2.5 hours at Yolo Hall on the Chico State campus. Participants will complete health, physical activity, exercise history, and sleep questionnaires.<\/p>\n<p>Testing includes cardiovascular and metabolic function assessments, maximal cycle exercise testing, handgrip strength testing, and body composition measurements. Blood draws will also be conducted as part of the research.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ryan Perkins, an associate professor in the Exercise Physiology Program, is the principal investigator.
