ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how ballet classes can help improve strength in the legs, balance, and memory in women aged 20 to 64. Researchers want to see if taking ballet can make students feel more motivated to exercise regularly and if it can help them develop better habits around physical activity. The goal is to find out if ballet can be a fun and effective option compared to other popular exercise classes, like yoga or Pilates.

To participate in this study, you need to be a female student at an exercise studio, aged between 20 and 64, and willing to take part in two tests. You should be able to do exercises like jumping and standing on your tiptoes, and you should not have had any recent surgery on your legs. If you’re interested, you can expect to be a part of a unique study that could help others discover the benefits of ballet as a way to stay active and healthy.
