NCT ID NCT07341568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 12-week exercise program (three times a week) could improve thinking skills in healthy adults aged 50 to 80. Researchers measured hormones like leptin and irisin, as well as other brain-related chemicals, before and after the program. The goal was to understand how exercise might protect the aging brain, but this was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
