RecruitingBehavioural interventionExercise and Carotid Artery Function in Metabolic SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to determine 1) if young adults with metabolic syndrome display endothelial dysfunction of the internal carotid artery in a sex-specific fashion and 2) if this endothelial dysfunction can be acutely improved with a single bout of exercise. This will be achieved by testing internal carotid artery function before and after a 30-minute bout of moderate intensity exercise. 48 young adults with and without metabolic syndrome will be enrolled and will be on study for approximately 5.5 hours over 4 study visits.
