Testing how exercise timing affects memory in healthy young adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the time of day you exercise changes how well you remember things. It asks healthy young adults to do controlled exercise over two lab visits and avoids exercise for a few days to compare results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 25 years old
- Currently get at least 90 minutes per week of moderate or vigorous exercise
- Be willing to do 2 lab visits over 4 days total
- Avoid exercising outside the lab for the 4-day period before and during the visits
- Have no known heart, lung, or metabolic conditions (like heart disease, asthma, or diabetes)

This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This trial tests whether a structured aerobic (heart-pumping) exercise program can improve memory and thinking in older adults who feel memory trouble but have not been diagnosed with dementia. It focuses on people who are “at increased risk” due to common health factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
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 tests whether a 12-month exercise program can help protect memory and thinking skills in older adults who have noticed changes in their memory. You would be asked to exercise at home and attend some group classes.
This study compares the short-term effects of two types of exercise—moderate-intensity continuous exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on thinking skills and how your body responds during and after exercise.
