NCT ID NCT07575802
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 256 healthy adults to see if leg muscle strength and power can predict how the brain's prefrontal cortex responds during moderate cycling. Using a machine learning model, researchers measured blood flow changes in the brain with a special light-based technique (fNIRS). The goal was to better understand the connection between physical fitness and brain function, not to test a treatment.
