» Year of Publication Document Types 1.  Randomized controlled
trial of the efficacy of aerobic exercise in reducing metabolic
risk in healthy older people: The Hertfordshire Physical
Activity Trial  While there are compelling observational data
confirming that individuals who exercise are healthier, the
efficacy of aerobic exercise interventions to reduce metabolic
risk and improve insulin sensitivity in older people has not
been fully elucidated. Furthermore, while low birth weight has
been shown to predict adverse health outcomes later in life, its
influence on the response to aerobic exercise is unknown. Our
primary objective is to assess the efficacy of a fully
supervised twelve week aerobic exercise intervention in reducing
clustered metabolic risk in healthy older adults. A secondary
objective is to determine the influence of low birth weight on
the response to exercise in this group. We aim to recruit 100
participants born between 1931–1
