NCT ID NCT04849923

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a computer model, called a digital twin, to see if it could predict how muscles change with strength training. Twenty-three healthy adults did a 6-week strength program while researchers tracked their progress. The goal was to improve training guidelines and make workouts safer and more effective for everyone.
