How blood vessels respond to exercise with and without blood flow restriction
This study looks at how your blood vessels respond to resistance exercise (like weight lifting) with and without a technique called blood flow restriction. It compares younger and older adults to understand how aging affects these responses.
Almada, Monte Da CaparicaAges 18 years+ - NCT07526766Recruiting
Exercise Program for Heart Artery Dissection and Fibromuscular Dysplasia
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people who have had a spontaneous tear in a heart artery (SCAD) or fibromuscular dysplasia (a condition affecting blood vessel walls). The goal is to see if exercise can improve heart health after recovery from these conditions.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 21–65 - NCT07156552Recruiting
Protein and exercise to prevent muscle loss after weight loss surgery
This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05327465Recruiting
Exercise program for Black men on prostate hormone therapy
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can improve heart and blood-vessel health in Black men receiving androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. It may help your cardiovascular (heart) health and monitors safety during the program.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06856720Enrolling by invitation
Muscle stimulation, exercise, and blood sugar control in older adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests if combining electrical muscle stimulation with exercise can help older adults with type 2 diabetes living in nursing homes better manage their blood sugar. Participants will receive supervised sessions over several weeks.
Viseu, Viseu DistrictAges 60 years+ - NCT05877196Recruiting
Adaptive walking and fitness program for mild memory decline
This study tests an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT04962061Recruiting
Multidomain program to help prevent memory decline
This trial tests a combined lifestyle/health program to help prevent thinking and memory problems in older adults with cardiovascular risk factors. It may help by improving activity, health habits, and overall brain health over time.
Montreal, QuebecAges 60 years+ - NCT07595809Recruiting
Diet and exercise for heart failure with weak heart pumping
This study tests whether combining a healthy eating plan (DASH diet) with supervised exercise can help people with heart failure where the heart doesn't pump strongly enough. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes improve heart function and symptoms.

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.
