9 experts to decide: is this algorithm the future of personalized exercise?
NCT ID NCT07475221
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study asks 9 international experts to review a new algorithm designed to screen health risks and create personalized exercise plans. Over two rounds of online questionnaires, they will rate how clear and useful each part of the algorithm is. If successful, this tool could help people exercise more safely on their own, but it is still in the early idea stage.
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 validated, this algorithm could help people exercise more safely and effectively on their own, potentially improving health at a population level.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (9 experts) that only gathers opinions, not real-world results. The algorithm may not work as well in practice or for diverse populations.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of international experts in the field of Physical Activity and Exercise. Participants will be identified based on their recognized scientific or professional experience and possession of a relevant doctoral degree. Recruitment will be primarily via institutional email invitations, supplemented by personal contacts when needed. Eligible experts will voluntarily participate in two rounds of an online modified Delphi questionnaire and, if required, an online focus group to resolve any remaining disagreements. The targeted panel size is 9 - 18 experts to ensure representativeness and methodological robustness.
