Stable vs unstable workouts: which boosts fitness and kidney health more?
NCT ID NCT07349342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how stable resistance training (like using machines and body weight) compares to unstable training (using TRX straps) in healthy young men who haven't lifted weights recently. Over ten weeks, researchers will measure changes in physical fitness, blood fats, and kidney markers. The goal is to understand which type of exercise might be better for overall health.
