Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if individuals involved in exercise training change habitual activity and inactivity behavior outside of exercise training. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control, exercise training, sedentary time reduction, or exercise training plus sedentary time reduction. It was hypothesized that participants in the exercise training group will compensate for exercise training by reducing free-living physical activity behavior and increasing sedentary time. Participant free-living behavior was monitored for one week at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks using an activPAL wearable monitor.
