NCT ID NCT07490821
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week physical activity program can improve physical fitness and quality of life in paramedic students. Sixty students will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a control group. The program includes cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility exercises three times per week. Researchers will measure changes in endurance, muscle strength, and overall well-being.
