What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Resistance combined with cardiovascular trainingOther
Participants will undergo a 6-week exercise program designed under the supervision of a board certified sports medicine physician. The exercise program will consist of a 3 day per week schedule: Monday will be lower body resistance training, Wednesday will be aerobic exercise, and Friday will be upper body resistance training. Each session will be approximately up to 1 hour.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance combined with cardiovascular training group | Experimental | Participants in this group will receive the resistance combined with cardiovascular training intervention for up to 6 weeks Receives: Other: Resistance combined with cardiovascular training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in participants' physical reaction time
Participants' reaction time will be measured in milliseconds using open-source software "Open-source open-access reaction time test"
Measured: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Change in percentage of participants' mouse click accuracy
Participants' mouse click accuracy will be measured as a percentage using a web-based program, "Mouse Accuracy"
Measured: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in participants' number of target efficiency
Change in participants' number of target efficiency will be calculated as number of hits divided by possible targets using "Mouse Accuracy"
Measured: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Change in participants' clicks per second
Change in participants' clicks per second will be measured by counting actual mouse clicks per second using "Mouse Accuracy"
Measured: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2026. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Timothy Tiu, MD (305.243.3140, ttiu@miami.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in participants' physical reaction time (time frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Oct 2026.
