ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how resistance training—like lifting weights—affects the brain in healthy individuals. Researchers want to see how the nervous system responds to this kind of exercise. The study is currently recruiting participants who are between the ages of 65 and 74 and who have not done any resistance training for at least six months. To be eligible, participants should have a normal body weight (with a Body Mass Index between 18.5 and 24.9) and not have any recent gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, or neurological issues.

If you join the study, you can expect to participate in resistance training sessions and help researchers learn more about the benefits of exercise for brain health. However, if you have any recent injuries, health conditions, or use tobacco or certain medications, you may not qualify. This trial is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our understanding of how exercise can impact brain function in older adults!
