Can short bursts of bed cycling help ICU patients recover faster?
NCT ID NCT05279547
First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at two different ways of doing bed cycling exercises for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are at risk of muscle weakness. The goal is to see if short, intense bursts of cycling (interval training) are better for muscle oxygen and activation than steady, moderate cycling. About 100 adult ICU patients on breathing machines will take part, and researchers will monitor safety and how well each method works.
