Study how fitness and insulin resistance relate to diabetes
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 30–55 - NCT04916340Recruiting

Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18–45 - NCT05010109Recruiting
Testing heart safety and fitness during lung cancer chemoradiation
This study looks at how lung cancer treatment affects the heart and whether a “walking test” and blood tests can track heart fitness and injury. It may help by improving how cancer therapy is planned and monitored for heart safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05025774Recruiting
Exercise program study for young heart, leukemia, and lung survivors
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–25 - NCT05100966Recruiting
Exercise program for people waiting for hip or knee replacement
This trial tests a “getting fit” program to help people who are somewhat frail before hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve fitness while you wait for surgery, which may help you feel stronger for recovery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 60 years+ - NCT05194397RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise plus NR supplement to boost fitness after stem-cell transplant
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, plus an NR supplement, can improve fitness in young people who have had an allogeneic (donor) stem-cell transplant for certain blood cancers or bone marrow conditions. It’s meant to help with energy and physical ability while monitoring safety.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 10–30 - NCT05218083Recruiting
Mobile rehab program with interval exercise after COVID-19
This trial tests a coach-supported, phone-based rehabilitation program that includes high-intensity interval-style exercise for people recovering from COVID-19 after a hospital stay. It may help improve breathing, strength, and walking by providing structured exercise at home.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05267665Recruiting
Family-involved PTSD therapy coaching for Veterans
This study tests a brief way to include a Veteran’s family member to improve PTSD treatment results and help people stay engaged in care. It’s for Veterans who are just starting evidence-based PTSD therapy and have a closely involved family member who can participate too.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05277935Recruiting
Wearable activity tracking for hormone-positive metastatic breast cancer
This study tests whether using a wearable watch and smartphone app to track activity and fitness can help monitor health in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer while they take standard hormone therapy plus palbociclib. It mainly requires that you are already on these medicines for at least three months and can use the devices reliably.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT05332457Recruiting
Beta-blocker effects on heart rate and exercise capacity in atrial fibrillation
This study looks at how taking a beta-blocker affects your resting heart rate during activity and how fit your heart and lungs are during an exercise test. It may help clarify whether the way the medication controls heart rate is linked to better exercise tolerance in people with persistent atrial fibrillation.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05394363Recruiting
Victoria children birth-cohort study with parent/guardian consent
This study follows children born in a specific 2-year window and their parents or guardians over time. It helps researchers understand how children and families change as they grow, which can guide future health supports in Victoria.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 1 day+ - NCT05405673Recruiting
Test stool or tissue genes to find advanced colon growth
This study checks how well a set of bacterial gene markers (a DNA-like test) can help identify advanced “precancer-like” or higher-risk growths in the colon. It may help doctors better target who needs closer follow-up during colonoscopy.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05425810Recruiting
Smart tool to help check prosthetic socket fit
This study tests an easy-to-use smart system (called ENABLE) that helps assess whether a prosthetic socket fits your leg well. It may help improve comfort and reduce skin problems by making sure the socket fit is assessed in a consistent, affordable way.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT05496751Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fitness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 255 recruiting fitness studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fitness trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fitness trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
