TübingenAges 20–65 - NCT05795504Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program to improve calcium and vitamin D levels
This trial compares two exercise routines—resistance training versus high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—to see which better improves calcium intake and vitamin D levels in women. You may be able to join if you are 40–45, have low vitamin D, and are not using hormone therapy.
GizaAges 40–45 - NCT05982769Recruiting

Cleveland, OhioAges 21–65 - NCT06820658Recruiting
Comparing muscle response in active and inactive older adults
This study looks at how muscles respond to exercise in people aged 60 to 85. You will be asked to do some exercises so researchers can measure how your nerves and muscles work together.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 60–85 - NCT06887855Recruiting
Swallowing therapy for recent stroke patients
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18–75 - NCT07039370Recruiting
TMS for depression: looking for brain signals of response
This trial tests if brain scans or electrical signals can predict who will get better with TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for depression. It is for people whose depression did not improve after trying two or more antidepressants.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07285642Recruiting
Oxygen levels in muscles and brain in COPD patients
This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
IstanbulAges 40–70 - NCT07125378RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise program for older adults with memory decline
This six-week exercise program helps older adults with mild memory or thinking problems and trouble walking stay independent and safe at home. You will work with a trainer and wear an activity tracker to track your progress.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 65–90 - NCT05543083Recruiting
Therapy plus exercise for teens at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether a combination of coaching (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and exercise can improve mood and help teens who are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. It may be especially helpful if you’re dealing with depression symptoms and a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT05351476Recruiting
Exercise program for metabolism in postmenopausal women
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 50–75 - NCT01212003Recruiting
Study of how tuberculosis develops over time
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - 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+ - NCT06919900Recruiting
Learning fall-resistant skills in multiple sclerosis
This trial tests if practicing slips and trips can help people with multiple sclerosis learn to prevent falls. You will be exposed to controlled slips and trips to improve your balance and walking safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–89 - NCT05163600Recruiting
Exercise with or without blood flow restriction for health
This study compares how your heart and lungs respond to two different types of exercise: one with a special cuff that slightly limits blood flow and one without. It may help if you are healthy or have COPD.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–90 - NCT06270667Recruiting
Exercise training for lymphoma survivors

OsloAges 20–70 - NCT07652333Recruiting
Strength training for muscle and mind on obesity medication
This study tests whether strength training can help adults taking new obesity medications (like Wegovy or Ozempic) maintain muscle and improve mental health. You would start the medication after your first study visit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06322888Recruiting
Exercise study for women with dense breasts

Blood flow restriction training for knee pain relief before surgery
This study tests whether a special type of strength training (called blood flow restriction training) can reduce pain in people with severe knee arthritis who are waiting for knee replacement surgery. The training uses a cuff on the thigh to lightly restrict blood flow while doing exercises until failure.

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.
