NCT ID NCT06360536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a remotely delivered resistance training program is practical and helpful for Black women aged 30-64 who are overweight, have prediabetes or diabetes, or have high blood pressure. About 37 women will participate from home using their own devices. The goal is to see if the program is easy to follow and if it leads to improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and body composition.
