Exercise and vitamin D for type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether adding aerobic and resistance exercise to your routine helps manage type 2 diabetes better when you already take metformin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and possibly vitamin D. You would be assigned either to an exercise program or to continue your usual care.
BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT06948149Recruiting

Bone strength study: weight training and a drug for bone health
This trial tests whether combining resistance training with the drug rapamycin can improve bone formation in postmenopausal women who have lower-than-normal bone density but not osteoporosis. It aims to find a new way to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
Bispebjerg, Region SjællandAges 60–75 - NCT06161402Recruiting
Elastic band exercise for muscle loss in heart failure patients
This trial tests whether a simple at-home exercise program using elastic bands can help older adults with heart failure who also have muscle weakness or low muscle mass (sarcopenia). The goal is to improve strength and daily function.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT07135232Recruiting
Strength training and plant supplement for menopause symptoms
This 6-month study tests if strength training plus a plant-based supplement can help with perimenopause symptoms and muscle health. It's for women ages 40-55 who are not on hormone therapy and not already doing heavy resistance training.

São Paulo, São PauloAges 40 years+ - NCT05972876Recruiting
Blood-flow restriction rehab after ACL surgery
This trial looks at how well your ACL graft (the repaired tissue) heals after ACL reconstruction when you use a specific rehab method called blood-flow restriction training. It may help your care team understand whether this rehab approach leads to better healing and function.
Sittard, LimburgAges 18–65 - NCT06316349Recruiting

This study tests if leg exercises and mild electrical stimulation can help people who have a balloon pump in their leg artery. It aims to see if these treatments improve strength and recovery while the pump is in place.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07585305Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Knee Pain in Athletes
This study compares two types of exercise—resistance training and cycling—both using a special technique that temporarily reduces blood flow to your leg muscles. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing knee pain and improving strength in athletes with patellofemoral pain (pain around or behind the kneecap).
IslamabadAges 18–40 - NCT04067167Recruiting
Exercise bands versus muscle stimulation for people with cancer
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT06645470Recruiting
Muscle and movement study for weight loss medications
This study looks at how anti-obesity medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) affect your muscles and movement. It may help researchers understand how to combine these drugs with exercise for better health.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07595380Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 194 recruiting resistance training 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 training 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 training 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.
