NCT ID NCT06467656
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how 12 months of personalized endurance training—swimming, cycling, and running—affects the body and mind of healthy adults who were not regular exercisers. Fifty-eight people aged 19-39 took part, with some training up to 20 hours a week and others serving as a control group. The main goal was to measure changes in maximum oxygen use (VO2max) and other physical and mental adaptations over time.
