ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different amounts of upper body exercise can impact both physical health and brain function in people who don't get enough movement in their daily lives. Researchers want to find out if doing more upper body exercises can improve strength and cognitive skills, like thinking and memory, compared to doing less. This is important because living a sedentary lifestyle—meaning not getting enough physical activity—can lead to serious health issues, and understanding the best ways to exercise can help people stay healthy as they age.

To join this trial, participants need to be between 18 and 50 years old and currently engage in less than 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. Those with certain health conditions or recent injuries that could limit their ability to exercise will not be included. If eligible, participants can expect to take part in structured exercise sessions that focus on upper body workouts, and their physical and cognitive performance will be assessed throughout the study. This trial is a great opportunity for individuals looking to improve their health and contribute to important research on exercise and brain function.
