EXERCISE TRAINING

This study tests whether using the soundBrilliance app—which combines enhanced music, natural visuals, and spoken guidance—can help people aged 13 and older manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Over 12 weeks, participants use the app at least 4 days per week and report their m…

This study tests whether using a mobile app that gives visual feedback can help lung cancer patients do breathing exercises more effectively after having part of a lung removed. Forty patients will try both standard breathing training and app-guided training on the same day. Rese…

This study tests whether guided imagery—specifically, vividly imagining a future where you are physically active—can help mid-life adults stick to an exercise program. 160 participants will complete an in-person exercise program and be randomly assigned to different imagery exerc…

This study tests whether adding visual feedback exercises—using a laser pointer—to standard physical therapy can improve balance and mobility in people with Parkinson's disease. 32 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard exercises alone or standard exercises plu…

This study looks at whether a supervised program of moderate walking and strength training can safely reduce pain in breast cancer survivors who still have pain after treatment. Ten women who finished cancer therapy at least six months ago will participate. The goal is to see if …

This study looks at whether using a powered robot suit to help move the legs of patients who depend on a ventilator can improve their leg strength and breathing. Researchers will work with 30 adults in a respiratory care center. The goal is to see if this type of exercise can hel…

This study is testing whether a 12-week home-based walking program can change the immune system in people with lung cancer. Fifty patients will either do moderate continuous walking, high-intensity interval walking, or receive standard exercise advice. Researchers will measure ch…

This study looks at whether taking estrogen helps post-menopausal women gain more muscle from exercise. Thirty women who are 1-10 years past their last period will take either estrogen or a placebo and do 12 weeks of strength training. Researchers will measure muscle mass and fun…

This study looks at how the right side of the heart works in people with COPD, both at rest and during different levels of exercise. Researchers want to find patterns of heart strain to help develop better treatments in the future. About 60 adults aged 40 and older with COPD will…

This study looks at how the right side of the heart works in people with COPD, both at rest and during exercise. Researchers will use heart imaging and other tests to identify different patterns of heart dysfunction. The goal is to better understand these patterns so that future …

This study looks at how former athletes, current master's athletes, and nonathletes (ages 35-65) experience pain and respond to moderate exercise. Participants will do strength and aerobic exercises while their pain tolerance and sensitivity are measured. The goal is to understan…

This study follows 252 adults with muscle, bone, or joint problems (like arthritis, back pain, or after surgery) to see how well they do their prescribed home exercises. Researchers will track who sticks with the program and why, looking at factors like pain, mood, and support. T…

This study looks at three ways to help inactive adults exercise more: supervised group classes, a mobile app, or videos at home. Thirty people aged 18-35 who take fewer than 5,000 steps a day will try one of these for 8 weeks. The goal is to see which approach works best for boos…

This study looks at why some people with heart failure get better with exercise rehab while others don't. Researchers will measure oxygen use during exercise and check tiny molecules in the blood called microRNAs. They hope to find patterns that could one day help design personal…

This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a handheld device and taking nitrate supplements (like those in beetroot juice) can improve exercise performance in simulated high altitude. Eighty healthy adults will train for 4-6 weeks and then do a cycling tes…

This study tests whether 20 sessions of balance-challenge training on a stationary bike can improve safe cycling skills in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will be randomly assigned to the training or a control group, and their cycling ability will be measured on a test cou…
