ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well people can exercise and how this ability is affected by different health conditions. Exercise capacity is important for understanding and treating diseases like heart problems and lung conditions. The researchers want to collect information from patients in northern Israel to build a database that will help in future health evaluations.

To participate, you need to be able to complete a full exercise test, which involves walking on a treadmill or cycling. You can join if you are between the ages of 2 and 87 and are not currently experiencing an illness. Healthy volunteers without chronic diseases or those taking medications can also be included, but professional athletes are not eligible. Participants will fill out a health questionnaire, have a physical exam, and undergo the exercise test. This study is not yet recruiting, but it aims to gather valuable data that will help improve health assessments for a diverse population.
