NCT ID NCT07289529
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach called 'snack exercise' for adults aged 65 and older who are overweight. Instead of one long workout, participants do several short bursts of activity throughout the day. The goal is to see if this easier routine helps improve health, fitness, and quality of life. Sixty volunteers will be randomly assigned to either the snack exercise program or a control group.
