ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how aerobic exercise can help college students with metabolic disorders, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abdominal obesity. Researchers from the University of Colima want to find out if a structured exercise program, including activities like jogging and swimming, can lower these health risks and improve overall fitness. The trial will involve 48 students aged 18 to 25, who will be divided into two groups. One group will participate in a moderate exercise program, while the other group will follow a different routine. By comparing the health changes in both groups, the researchers hope to see if exercise makes a difference in managing these conditions.

To participate in this study, students must be between 18 and 25 years old, attend the University of Colima, and have at least one metabolic issue, such as high blood sugar or obesity. However, those with certain health issues or who are pregnant cannot join. Participants can expect to engage in regular exercise sessions, guided by the researchers, to help improve their health over a set period. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to contribute valuable insights into how exercise can support better health for young adults.
