NCT ID NCT07488715
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in a park, on a track, or indoors changes how your body handles stress, how your heart responds, and how your brain works afterward. Twenty-five healthy college students will do a 15-minute jump-rope HIIT session in each setting. Researchers will measure stress hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, mood, and thinking skills to see if the environment makes a difference.
