Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Randomised controlled trial - 12 weeks
Arm 1: moderate-intensity (50% VO2R), high-volume (16 kcal/kg/wk) aerobic (treadmill and cycle ergometer) exercise programme.
Arm 2: moderate-intensity (50% VO2R), low-volume (8 kcal/kg/wk) aerobic (treadmill and cycle ergometer) exercise programme.
Arm 3: vigorous-intensity (80% VO2R), high-volume (16 kcal/kg/wk) aerobic (treadmill and cycle ergometer) exercise programme.

Notes:
1. Frequency and duration of individual exercise sessions will vary across participants in order to meet specific arm exposures for exercise intensity (i.e., %VO2R) and exercise volume (i.e., kcal/kg/wk).
2. All individual exercise sessions will be supervised by an exercise physiologist.
3. Attendance records and participant logs will be used to monitor exercise programme adherence.
