Summary
This trial tests whether short, equipment-free exercise sessions in the classroom can ease anxiety, depression, and stress while boosting physical activity in medical students. Around 105 students will be split into groups receiving either two, one, or no exercise sessions per week over 16 weeks. Researchers will compare changes in mental health scores and activity levels between the groups.
