Team sports may lower blood clot risk in seniors
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether playing team sports reduces the chance of blood clots in older adults. It focuses on people who are currently not very active and helps researchers understand what level and type of activity is safest and most helpful.

This study looks at how exercise changes blood vessels differently in older women and men. You'll be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a no-exercise control group for a few months, and researchers will measure your blood vessel health before and after.
This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study tests a special exercise training approach to help small blood vessels work better and improve resilience in frail older adults. If you join, you’ll do training that may involve temporary blood-flow restriction, so safety rules are important.
This study tests how high-intensity exercise affects brain health and thinking abilities in older adults. It may help show if exercise can keep the brain sharp as we age.
This study looks at how physical activity affects heart health in people over 50. It compares people who are generally healthy with those who have chronic kidney disease or rheumatoid arthritis.
This study looks at how blood fats (lipids) interact with platelets to help understand blood clot risk and possible future treatments. It is for people over 40 without known heart or artery disease.
