UMD is in search of healthy males, age 55-80, for a study investigating the effect of long-term physical activity on factors in the blood that help to keep the blood vessels healthy. To achieve this purpose, UMD is conducting a comparative study of two groups of men:

• Men who have vigorously exercised for at least 20 years
• Men who are healthy; but, do not routinely and strenuously exercise (i.e., less than or equal to 2 days/week, 20 min/session).

The quota for the first group is nearly full; we are now actively seeking candidates for the second group.

All participants must meet these criteria:

• Male, age 55-80
• Healthy - no evidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer
• Non-smoking

We will have you fill out a medical history and physical activity questionnaire and ask you questions about your health and training history.  If you qualify for our study, there will be 3 visits to our lab:

For your participation you will receive FREE:

• Bone Density Testing
• Health Screening

This is a golden opportunity to learn about your current general heath and cardiovascular fitness, at no cost to you.
