Exercise program study for focal neck dystonia
This trial tests how a structured exercise program affects the brain and body changes behind focal cervical dystonia (a movement disorder that causes abnormal neck postures). It may help people who are still having symptoms despite best-available treatments like botulinum toxin injections or medicines.

Simple exercises to lower blood pressure in resistant hypertension
This study tests two simple, low-effort exercises (like squeezing a ball or holding a gentle pose) to see if they can help lower blood pressure for people whose high blood pressure doesn’t respond well to medication. The goal is to offer a safe, easy way to improve heart health.
AveiroAges 40–75 - NCT06510998Recruiting
Handgrip exercise for lowering blood pressure
This trial tests if simple handgrip exercises (a type of isometric resistance exercise) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. It compares the exercise group to a control group to see if this easy activity can improve heart health.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07043569Recruiting
Strength training with blood flow restriction after ACL surgery
This trial tests a special type of strength training that uses a blood pressure cuff to limit blood flow during exercises. It aims to help people recover muscle strength and improve knee function after ACL surgery.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05266976Recruiting
Exercise types and bone markers in healthy older veterans
This study compares different ways of exercising to see how they affect “bone-related” blood markers in older adults. It may help you and researchers understand which exercise patterns support healthy bones.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 60 years+ - NCT04754672Recruiting
Exercise training to improve outcomes in advanced colon cancer
This trial studies whether supervised exercise—either aerobic fitness training or muscle-strength training—can improve outcomes for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It compares which approach is most helpful and checks whether it’s safe during first-line chemotherapy.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05806801Recruiting
Study how weight loss changes the body with or without exercise
This study looks at how your metabolism (how your body uses energy and controls blood sugar/fats) changes during weight loss, comparing weight loss alone versus weight loss plus exercise. It may help researchers understand what body changes happen with different approaches and why.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT05569785Recruiting
Bariatric surgery and exercise to study muscle changes
This study looks at how exercise and bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve) affect your muscle strength and health. You may be eligible if you are an adult with obesity who is planning one of these surgeries.
DerbyAges 18–70 - NCT06970236Recruiting
Strength training for eye melanoma survivors
This trial tests whether a high intensity resistance (strength) training program can help people who have been treated for choroidal melanoma (an eye cancer) with plaque brachytherapy. The goal is to improve muscle strength and overall health after cancer treatment.
Valencia, SpainAges 18 years+ - NCT06419452Enrolling by invitation
Resistance training for tennis serve speed and accuracy
This study tests different types of strength training to see which one improves how quickly and accurately young tennis players can serve. You'll train for several weeks and your serve will be measured before and after.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 16–20 - NCT05764733RecruitingPhase 4
How bone exercise, alendronate, and diet affect bone strength
This trial studies whether doing a structured bone-focused exercise program, taking alendronate (a medication that slows bone loss), and making a calorie-reducing diet can improve bone strength in people with low bone density. It also compares different combinations to see what helps most and is safest for you.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 60 years+ - NCT07665034Recruiting
Handgrip exercise to help blood pressure and artery health
This trial tests if a simple handgrip exercise routine can improve blood pressure and reduce artery hardening in people with high blood pressure. Participants will do the exercise at home and have regular check-ups for up to a year.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance exercise?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 180 recruiting resistance exercise 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 resistance exercise 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 resistance exercise 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.
