INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The overarching objective is to examine the brain-based biological mechanistic pathway by which exercise exerts anxiolytic effects. The investigators will measure brain-derived markers of mitochondrial metabolism (acetyl-L-carnitine \[LAC\]) and inflammation (interleukin-6 \[IL-6\]) using innovative technology to isolate neuronal exosomes.

Interventions
Exercise intervention is delivered in weekly individual sessions virtually for the 4-week intervention period. Sessions range from 25-45 minutes. The sessions serve as touch base points to review exercise for the week, plan for the coming week, problem-solve obstacles, and discuss various motivational strategies to help with an exercise routine. Participants are prescribed 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week to be completed at home.
