ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how short bursts of physical activity can affect brain health and overall well-being in university students. Previous research suggests that exercise can lead to better moods and improved focus, but we still need to understand the best amount of activity to achieve these benefits. By studying university students, this trial aims to add valuable information that could help improve mental health in educational settings and beyond.

To participate, individuals should be between 18 and 24 years old and must not have any serious psychological or cognitive issues that could affect their ability to follow instructions. Participants should also be physically capable of engaging in exercise. If eligible, participants can expect to take part in activities that explore how exercise impacts their mood and thinking abilities. This study is actively recruiting, so it's a great opportunity for students interested in improving their mental health while contributing to important research.
