ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how sleep quality, physical fitness, and body mass index (BMI) are related to each other, particularly in physical therapy students. Researchers want to understand how these factors can impact students' health and performance in school. They know that many people struggle with sleep issues, which can lead to problems like weight gain and other health concerns. By studying physical therapy students, the trial aims to find ways to help them improve their sleep and fitness, which could also make them better role models for their future patients.

To participate in this study, you need to be a physical therapy student aged 18 to 25 years old. However, if you have any diagnosed sleep disorders, like insomnia or sleep apnea, or certain chronic health conditions, you wouldn't be eligible to join. If you do qualify, you can expect to take part in assessments that will help researchers understand how your sleep, fitness, and weight are connected. The goal is to use these insights to promote healthier lifestyles among students, leading to better health outcomes for them and their future patients.
