NCT ID NCT07571369
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether doing balance exercises (like walking backward or standing on one leg) while also performing mental tasks (like counting or memory games) can lower stress and improve balance in healthy university students aged 18 to 25. Seventy-two participants will be split into three groups: dual-task training, balance exercises only, or general health advice. The training lasts 6 weeks, with two sessions per week. Researchers will measure stress levels and balance before and after the program.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help students manage stress and improve balance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with stress disorders. The intervention is brief (6 weeks) and effects may be modest.
