This study is looking at how stopping your regular exercise for a short time affects your blood sugar control (glycemic control) and the health of your blood vessels (vascular function) if you are an active older adult. Researchers want to see if taking a break from exercise for 3 or 5 days, and then returning to exercise for 3 days, changes these health markers. They are especially interested in older adults because less is known about how short periods of inactivity affect them compared to younger people. To join, you should be 55 years or older (or 18-40 years old), healthy, and physically active for at least 90 minutes per week. The study aims to enroll 40 participants.
