Balance bike training aims to keep seniors cycling safely
NCT ID NCT06453473
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
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 course before and after. The goal is to see if the training transfers to real-world cycling and reduces faults.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple training program that helps older adults maintain safe cycling skills and prevent falls.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial focused on skill transfer, not a treatment for a disease. Results may not apply to all older adults, and the training may not improve real-world cycling safety.
