Daily goal setting to boost movement and brain health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a daily goal-setting program and activity tracking can increase everyday physical activity and support thinking/brain health in midlife. You may be asked to wear devices and meet activity-monitoring requirements during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining cognitive training with aerobic exercise can help 'low active' adults aged 40–65 become more physically active. Participants will do both brain games and exercise to see if this combo improves adherence.
This study looks at how emotions affect your desire to be active. You'll wear a Fitbit smartwatch and answer short surveys to help researchers understand what helps people start and stick with physical activity.
This study tests whether a program of Fitbit tracking, text reminders, exercise videos, and walking with a care partner can help older adults (with or without mild dementia) become more active. It is designed for people who are willing to use a smartwatch and stay connected via phone or internet.
This study tests a mobile app that pairs daily tasks and check-ins with a wearable sensor to help increase activity and improve mood. It is designed for adults who are comfortable using a smartphone and willing to wear a lightweight sensor during waking hours.
This trial tests a digital physical activity program for people who can safely exercise on their own. It may help you stay active if you have no major health risks or have been cleared by your doctor.
This study tests whether setting goals helps people in midlife become more physically active. If you are between 45 and 65, have a higher weight, and currently do not exercise much, this program may help you build a healthier habit.
