ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how our daily activities and exercise patterns affect our overall health, particularly in relation to heart and metabolic conditions. The researchers want to learn more about how our body's internal clock interacts with physical activity.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 45 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 34.9, and be in good health without serious medical conditions. Participants will spend time in a hospital, where they will exercise moderately, eat the same meals, and provide samples of blood, urine, and saliva for testing. If you qualify and choose to take part, you'll be closely monitored to help researchers understand the best ways to improve health through physical activity. Please note, individuals who smoke, are pregnant, or have certain health issues cannot participate.
