Game on: turning exercise into a game to help heavy smokers quit
NCT ID NCT07390695
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gamified exercise program can improve cardiorespiratory fitness and help hardcore smokers (at least 20 cigarettes a day for a year) quit. Sixty physically inactive smokers will follow a 12-week structured exercise program with game-like elements. The study has no control group, so results will be compared within the same group before and after the program.

What this could lead to
