About this study
Official title: The Effect of Free Weight Resistance Training and Body Composition on Cognitive Function Explored Through Eye Tracking
This study, titled The Effect of Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT) on Cognitive Function Explored through Eye Tracking, will be a randomized double-blind clinical trial aimed at evaluating how FWRT influences cognitive processing in healthy young adults. Eye-tracking technology will be used to measure reading metrics and DXA scans will be used to measure body composition before and after a 10-week FWRT intervention.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which will undergo a 10-week FWRT program, or a control group. This study will provide insights into the potential benefits of free weight resistance training on the cognitive performance of text processing tasks.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Resistance TrainingBehavioural
Participants in the experimental group will perform free weight resistance training sessions focused on push, pull, and leg movement patterns. The program will last for 10 weeks, progressively increasing in load and intensity. The intervention will be designed to improve the participants' physical strength and observe how these changes affect their cognitive performance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Free Weight Resistance Training (FWRT) | Experimental | Participants in the experimental group will engage in a 10-week free weight resistance training program. This program will consist of 3 weekly sessions, including exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, among others. The training will focus on progressively increasing the intensity, working within a range of 60% to 80% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM). Receives: Behavioral: Resistance Training |
| Control Group | No intervention | Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention and will be instructed to continue with their usual daily routine. These participants will be evaluated pre- and post-intervention in the same manner as the experimental group but will not participate in the training program. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cognitive Measures (Eye-Tracking Metrics)
Cognitive metrics (as text processing metrics) will be measured through an eye-tracking device (EyeLink Portable Duo), with the following key metrics:
- First Pass Reading Times: Total time spent on fixations during the first pass of reading within an area of interest.
- Total Reading Times: The sum of the durations of all fixations within an area of interest, including revisits to previously read areas.
- Other eye-tracking or comprehension measures could also be used.
Measured: Up to 10 weeks post-intervention

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?
Cognitive Measures (Eye-Tracking Metrics) (time frame: Up to 10 weeks post-intervention). 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?
