Interventions
Subjects will undergo three exercise tests, each separated by at least 48 hours: * Symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET): Patients will cycle upright starting at 0W (3 min) before the workload is increased by 10-35W·min-1 in a ramp fashion (like cycling up a progressively steeper hill) until volitional exhaustion for the determination of V̇O2peak and Wpeak * Two-stage submaximal constant power exercise test: Following a 5-minute warm-up (10-20 W), participants will cycle in the moderate intensity domain for 25 minutes followed by 25 minutes in the heavy intensity domain. * Six different resistance exercises of varying intensities: Participants will perform three sets of six different resistance exercises: chest press; lateral raises; abdominal crunches; planks; leg press; weighted lunges
