Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Exercise TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will exercise 3 times a week on a stationary bicycle. Exercise intensity will begin at low levels (50% of maximal heart rate reserve) and increase as tolerated to a maximum of 80% of maximal heart rate reserve. Exercise time will progress from an initial 20 minutes per session to a maximum of 45 minutes per session.
Group II: StretchingPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants will undergo progressive whole body stretching and balance exercises. This type of low intensity exercise is designed not to increase heart rate but rather to improve joint mobility and the ability to perform activities of daily living. This will serve as the control group to the exercise group. The control group will come in for stretching sessions 3 times per week for 20-45 minutes.
