Are you between the ages of 35 to 55 years old? Do you live in the Buffalo area? If so, you might be eligible to participate in a University at Buffalo (UB) study focused on learning more about outdoor exercise and air pollution! Participants will be enrolled in the study for about 3 months. They will be given an Apple watch to wear throughout the study that they can keep. All participants will complete 8 weeks of exercise with a trained health coach in Delaware Park. At the beginning of the study, they will be randomly assigned (which happens by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two groups: (1) Group 1 will exercise in an area close to the road in the park and (2) Group 2 will exercise in an area slightly far from the road. Weekly exercise sessions will last 45 – 60 minutes and will involve either jogging or running depending on fitness level. Your blood pressure will be measured throughout the study, and you will provide a blood and urine sample at the beginning and end of the study. Read More
