EXERCISE TRAINING

This study tests if 20 sessions on a special stationary bike that wobbles unexpectedly can improve real-world cycling skills in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will be tested on a cycling course before and after training to see if they make fewer mistakes. The goal is to h…

This study tests whether adding visual feedback exercises—using a laser pointer to guide trunk and leg movements—to standard physical therapy can improve balance and daily activities in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will enroll 32 adults with mild to moderate Parki…

This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program with moderate aerobic and resistance training can safely reduce pain in breast cancer survivors who have ongoing pain. Ten women who finished treatment at least six months ago will take part. The goal is to see if the prog…

This study looks at how the right side of the heart works during rest and exercise in people with COPD. Researchers want to find different patterns of heart strain to guide future treatments. About 60 adults aged 40 and older with COPD will take part. The goal is to better unders…

This study looks at whether strengthening your breathing muscles and taking a nitrate supplement (like the stuff in beets) can help healthy adults exercise longer in conditions that mimic high altitude. 80 recreationally active people aged 18-40 will do cycling tests before and a…

This study looks at 62 people with heart failure to understand why some get better with exercise rehab while others don't. Researchers will measure oxygen use during exercise and check tiny blood molecules called microRNAs. The goal is to find markers that could help personalize …

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 dysfunction that could lead to better treatments. The study involves 60 adults aged 40 and older with CO…

This study looks at three ways to help inactive adults (taking fewer than 5,000 steps a day) become more active: supervised group exercise, a mobile app, or video workouts at home. Thirty people aged 18-35 will do aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises three times a week fo…

This study looks at why some people with muscle, bone, or joint problems follow their home exercise programs while others don't. Researchers will track 252 adults with conditions like arthritis, back problems, or stroke recovery. The goal is to find out what factors—like pain, mo…

This study tests whether guided imagery—creating mental pictures of future rewards—can help mid-life adults stay motivated to exercise. 160 physically inactive adults will complete an exercise program and undergo MRI scans, questionnaires, and blood tests to see if this technique…

This study looks at how former athletes, current master's athletes, and nonathletes (ages 35-65) experience pain and how different types of moderate exercise—strength training versus aerobic exercise—affect their pain. Participants will complete three sessions: baseline tests, a …
