Can High-Intensity exercise help overweight adults with mobility issues?
NCT ID NCT05880966
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a 6-month high-intensity functional training program is feasible and helpful for overweight or obese adults with long-term mobility disabilities. Twenty-five participants did exercise sessions three times a week. The goal was to see if the program could improve weight, body composition, and metabolic health. This is a small pilot study focused on whether the approach works and is acceptable, not a final test of effectiveness.
