- No medication is an absolute exclusion from TMS. Medications will be reviewed by the Principal Investigator and a decision about inclusion will be made based on the following:
- The subject's past medical history, drug dose, history of recent medication changes or duration of treatment, and combination with other CNS active drugs.
- The published TMS guidelines review medications to be considered with TMS (Rossi, Hallett, Rossini, Pascual-Leone, \& Safety of TMS Consensus Group, 2009).
- Any metal in the brain, skull or elsewhere unless approved by the responsible MD
- Any medical devices (i.e. Cardiac pacemaker, deep brain stimulator, medication infusion pump, cochlear implant, vagal nerve stimulator)
- Intracranial lesion
- Substance abuse or dependence within the past six months Subjects who, in the Investigator's opinion, might not be suitable for the study

About this study
The overall goal of the proposed study is to compare the effects of 4 weeks of moderate or high intensity aerobic exercise on neuroplasticity, cognitive performance and gait and postural control in sedentary healthy adults.
Read the detailed description
The primary aim of the study is to compare the effects of a moderate intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 55-64% age-predicted maximal heart rate) with a high intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 65%-90% age-predicted maximal heart rate) on measures that probe cortical synaptic plasticity using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in sedentary healthy adults.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Moderate intensity exercise.Behavioural
Moderate intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 55-64% age-predicted maximal heart rate), 4 times per week for 4 weeks.
High intensity exercise.Behavioural
High intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 65-90% age-predicted maximal heart rate), 4 times per week for 4 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate intensity exercise. | Active comparator | Moderate intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 55-64% age-predicted maximal heart rate), 4 times per week for 4 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Moderate intensity exercise. |
| High intensity exercise | Experimental | High intensity aerobic exercise intervention (delivered at 65%-90% age-predicted maximal heart rate), 4 times per week for 4 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: High intensity exercise. |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Moderate intensity exercise. and High intensity exercise. in people with Sedentary Lifestyle, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in cortical synaptic plasticity using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) from baseline to post-exercise. (time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2021.
