Pumping iron to slow aging: exercise trial targets psychosis patients
NCT ID NCT07207538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week strength training program can help slow down early aging in 40 young adults (ages 18-35) who have had a first episode of psychosis. Researchers will measure telomere length (a marker of cellular aging) and other health indicators. The goal is to see if adding exercise to standard care improves overall health and quality of life.
