NCT ID NCT06848335
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether adding mindfulness-based stress management to a physical activity program can help inactive Latina women aged 18 to 65 exercise more and improve heart health. All participants start with a standard remote exercise program. After six months, those not meeting activity goals are randomly assigned to extra support or a mindfulness-enhanced version. The trial tracks physical activity, stress, and health indicators over 18 months.
