Could a single practice session make exercise tests more reliable?
NCT ID NCT07735507
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether a familiarization session before a treadmill time-to-exhaustion test can reduce learning effects and improve measurement consistency. Healthy, physically active adults will complete a practice trial followed by an experimental trial. Researchers will compare performance between sessions to see how much practice matters.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If familiarization reduces variability, future exercise studies may produce more reliable results.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small exploratory study with only 20 participants, so findings may not apply broadly.
