New study tests exercise as a Drug-Free way to boost leg blood flow in seniors
NCT ID NCT07330635
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether different exercise programs can improve blood flow in the legs of older adults with poor circulation. About 425 participants will be split into groups doing either mixed exercise, high-intensity rowing, or vibration exercise for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if these exercises can help with mobility and reduce the risk of chronic wounds, offering a safer alternative to medications.
