| Study objectives | 1. Can subjects be effectively recruited? 2. Can both exercise therapies (study and control) be safely employed in an older adult population? 3. Can strategies be developed to ensure acceptable patient compliance? 4. Can appropriate quality assurance initiatives (e.g. patient recruitment, staff training, data collection) be developed to ensure the successful completion of a larger study? |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Healthy older adults |
| Intervention | An interval-brisk-walking-training program consisting of three sessions per week for 4 weeks. The subjects will participate in a supervised indoor/outdoor training program consisting of repetitions of 30 seconds of brisk walking followed by 3 minutes of recovery walking. The control group will attend a one-hour training session on the principles of exercise. Participants will be advised to perform moderate endurance exercise at home, such as walking, gardening and swimming three sessions per week for one month. |
