Exercise and fitness in healthy adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing, body composition, and heart-lung fitness vary between people who exercise regularly and those who don't. You may qualify if you are generally healthy and can do a treadmill or bike test until you are too tired to continue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be physically able to do a hard exercise test until you feel you can't continue.
- You must not have any health problem that would make this test unsafe.
Quick eligibility check

This study looks at how well your heart and lungs work during exercise in different health conditions. By participating, you'll help researchers understand normal and abnormal exercise responses, which could improve care for people with various diseases.
This study tests whether different breathing exercises can improve lung function and heart rate variability in healthy, inactive young adults. It may help you understand how simple breathing techniques can affect your breathing and heart health.
This study tests a new step-based exercise test to see if it works as well as a standard bike test for measuring fitness and breathing. If you are a healthy adult, you might join to help validate this simpler test.
This study looks at different markers of fitness in your blood and body. You will do a maximal exercise test on a bike or treadmill, give a blood sample, and fill out some questionnaires to help researchers understand overall health.
This study looks at how the body responds to exercise when oxygen levels are lower than normal (a condition called hypoxia). It is for healthy volunteers and may help researchers better understand how exercise affects us in different conditions.
This study looks at how breathing problems that are not caused by a disease might affect physical fitness. If you are a healthy adult who often feels short of breath or sighs a lot, participating could help you understand your breathing and overall fitness better.
