Study Arms (2)
Exercise Group
EXPERIMENTALEligible participants randomized into the intervention group will receive a mix of supervised moderate-intensity aerobic and light weight-resistance exercises.
Attention Control Group
ACTIVE COMPARATOREligible participants randomized in the attention control group will be asked to maintain their current daily activities and exercise habits for 6-months.
Interventions
For the first 12-weeks, participants will come to our community based research office for up to 50 min/session, 3-days/week of supervised exercise. Exercise duration will increase from 75 min/wk at week 1 to 150 min/wk by week 4. Thereafter, men will maintain 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity physical activity.
We will provide weekly healthy lifestyle tips via text messages, and will include tips such as managing stressors in life and getting better sleep.
